“Making Your Vision A Reality” 3rd OCT

Thank you for your input in the Club Development process to date . By now, you will have had an opportunity to voice your views on the development of your club . feedback has been gathered through the following events/consultations .

  • “Your club in Your community ” evening in O’Neill Arms hotel
  • Consultation with the senior players (men and ladies)
  • Questionaire from parents of Underage players
  • Meeting of main interest groups in the area (youth club, hall committee etc)

 Each of the above groups and individuals were asked the same questions:-

  1. What is good about the club?
  2. What needs to improve?
  3. Who needs to be involved ?
  4. What is your role?

The Development Committee and the Club Committee have met to concider ALL of the suggestions made by all the groups consulted .

We concidered which issues were the responsibility of the football club, and then grouped the relevant issues under six broad themes which are detailed below. These themes will provide a framework for the next step, which in will in turn form the club development committee plan.

  • Facilities
  • Internal Structures
  • Community Involvement
  • Fundraising
  • Communication
  • Personal Development

It is now time to develop actions to make your  vision a reality.

We would therefore invite you to attend the next step in this process, which will be facilited by Mark Conwayand Ryan Fenny ,on  :-

Friday 3rd October

7.00-9-00PM

O’Neill Arms Hotel

This is an oppurtunity for everyone to:-

  1. Agree what the aims shoulds be , under each theme and:
  2. Agree what actions need to take place to ensure that the club can meet the aims, and who needs to be involved, and ;,
  3. Agree a way of checking whether we are meeting the aims.

Hope to see you there
