GRIFFIN CUP GETS FISHING SEASON UNDERWAY

The AGM took place last week and a very good attendance had their say on the issues currently affecting the club and everybody left with a positive note for the year ahead. The committee elected is largely the same as last year with Conor Hannon as President, Michael Ganly as Chairman and Eamon Cunningham as Vice-Chairman. Sean Kelly was returned as Treasurer and Angela Sloane was also returned as Secretary with Thomas Killion retaining the PRO role. Also re-elected to the committee were Geraldine Rohan and Liam O’Sullivan and joining them this year are Paul and Richie Fallon and Helen Conway. This will be a hard working committee but they will also need help during the year from the members with organising events and as Captains so don’t be shy if asked to help out.
