Please note the Vodaphone offer as outlined here below on Feb. 5th.
Minor Board Meeting:
I attended the Club's Minor Board Meeting last night, Monday. It dealt with many issues and rattled on apace.
Among the issues dealt with were;
1. The injury report protocol. It is most urgent that, when a plyer gets injured, that the referee is made aware of it, that it is in his report and that the relevant forms are got and passed on to the Insurance Officer, Ml. Furey, and submitted within a week or so. Attention to detail and accuracy are vital. The current operators of the scheme are just looking for loopholes to throw out claims. The draw on the scheme is enormous and Croke Park is subsidising it to a large extent.
2. Insurance (it really is not insurance just a scheme) no longer covers physiotherapy except in exceptional circumstances. The person's own health insurance V.H.I etc is the first call.
3. The whole physio. issue in the Club will be strictly monitored and the Chairman is to be made aware and give sanction for same.
4. Tansey Cup, the Park Sun. 14 v Oran at 2.30. Seniors v Str. Sun. 28th away.
5. Bowling night Sat. March 6th in Carrick, 7 to 10.30 with prize presentation in the Moylurg afterwards. €50 for a team of 4, family, friends any composition. 48 teams needed again non GAA people, no problem! Other clubs have done this and it has been most successful.
6. The opening of the new dressing rooms is scheduled for Sat. May 1st so a good deal of work on board before that.
7. The Club is participating in teh St. Patrick's Day parade and people are asked to keep their availability in mind for that and if they have any ideas pass them on to Jan Flanagan.
8. Boyle have a good and challenging Minor team this year so hopefully all will make the effort to turn out and that those who are just a little reluctant to do so are encouraged by others.
9. There are a number of requirements, for coaches, now in terms of having different coaching levels and ethics courses done. The people involved in under-age coaching will be informed so please cooperate.
10. Players are not eligible to play unless membership is paid.
11. Clubs now are run like businesses and I was very impressed by the business-like quality of last night's meeting. As I have said a number of times, Boyle GAA Club is in a good place now and potentially on the edge of a more successful era so let's all keep up the momentum.
