Sat. 4.30 pm.
Tomorrow sees the last of game of the season with the U 16s’ taking on Tulsk in the Ahern Cup final at 1 in the A.P. So try and get there with your support.
Scor…we have two entries going forward Karen Carty as Solo Singer and Conor Tivnan, Jack Morris and Caoimhe Morris in instrumental group music.
The Minor Board AGM takes place on Thursday December the 2nd, so if have a contribution or a say take that on board.
The County Board AGM is on Sat. Dec. 18th. One of the items I feel that really needs a study here are the finances and the proposed development in Oran. It seems to me that he County is struggling to clear debts at this time and it doesn’t seem logical to me to initiate a major new development at this time. Indeed if any remedial work was to be done Hyde Park in terms of toilets and general upkeep is in a sorry enough state. This year Roscommon Co. board sees the end of Ml. McGuire’s five year term as Chairman. I believe that, despite some inevitable perhaps petty niggles, that he will be considered among the finest Chairmen that we are lucky to have had. One has to bear in mind the position that existed when he took office and the various issues particularly of his earlier years.
The Minor Presentation Night is on Friday Jan. 7th.

Christmas Quiz Wed. Dec. 29th.
The Senior AGM is in January, provisionally Monday Jan17th. (Ladies AGM dates to come).
One of the major issues we have ourselves is that we need to tackle our own debt in 2011 and to do that we need innovative ideas. If anyone has such an idea (preferably outside the box idea) let the exec. hear it. One idea that has been discussed is a fund-raising walk to Croke Park ending up there on All-Ireland football day. Kilglass did this very successfully spearheaded by my friend Seamus Nugent. I include a missive from the Club Treasurer on the idea:
Tony,
The road to Croker idea came to my mind as an effort to lower the Club's indebtedness on the new club rooms. Having been involved in the project at all stages, I am conscious that before I leave office, that repayment of the loan wouldn't be a huge millstone around the neck of new officers. I would see the 'Road' to Croker’ being divided into different stages with different members walking the various stages. Contact would be made with all the GAA clubs en route to elicit their support. I believe this project could have both a fun and team building dimension for the club and of course net funds (Think Kingless). Most importantly, all Club members have to take ownership of the concept if it is to be a success.
Regards
Kathleen

T.C. The important thing there is that if taken up that ALL members take it up and not the few reliables who have been outstanding over recent years and have developed a grounds and facility which other clubs constantly praise.
Att. Club coaching officer from Willie Hegarty.
On behalf of Roscommon coaching and games development and over the next few weeks your club will be having your annual minor, senior AGM and club meetings. We would like your club to ensure that for 2011 that all your underage coaches and everyone involved with your teams in any capacity in both football and hurling need to have the foundation course done and we would like at least one person from your club or more to undertake the Award 1 youth, Adult and child courses as well. We have our programme of courses ready for 2011 and looking forward to working with your coaches. It is very important for your club that all coaches have a foundation qualification.
Yours in sport
Willie Hegarty
P.S./T.C. if you (readers) have got down to here, I have been watching some of the Ireland v Samoa rugby match (over my shoulder as I write this) and the crowd or lack of it shows that in these times people will react if you try to be too smart in terms of charges etc. Also there is the prominence of the Guinness advertising. Last week v South Africa the ball even was emblazoned with the name of Guinness which I thought was o.t.t. The whole idea of things like Arthur’s Day etc. is a pure con.
