AGM Report

There were over twenty members present for the AGM in Rathkeale last Friday night where a very successful year was recounted. Success was measured on the competition field but also, and more importantly perhaps, in the high level of participation. There are over 60 members of the club at present and almost a third are female. The Tuesday night sessions organised by Joe Chawke in UL have attracted many new people into the sport and the more recent Saturday morning sessions at 9.00am in Ballinruane Wood, Kilmeedy, organised by Ger Guina and Mike Cussen, are having the same effect.

Anyone is welcome to attend these sessions and all levels are catered for. Beidh fáilte romhat.

 

Registration

Existing members and new athletes are reminded of the €20 registration fee. Almost all of this goes to the AAI at national level but it is vital for insurance purposes. It is hoped to have an on-line facility set up in the near future for registration but in the meantime committee members are happy to pass it on to the registrar.

 

Championship Competition

Runners are reminded that if a team or ind ividual wis h to compete at Munster or National AAI level then 2 weeks prior to the event the secretary needs to have details etc. Late entries which incur a fine must be paid for by the athlete, except where a good reason is offered.

Pakie O’ Riordan reaped the benefits of all his track training when he showed a clean pair of heels and took gold in the 200m O/50 event and Pat Moloney also took gold in the O/55 800m race.
