Reminder: Forum on Saturday evening

This posting is potentially the most important one made since January 2017; the Club Forum is scheduled for Saturday next, 20 January at 7.30 in the Clubhouse in Springfield with a special focus on Ladies Football in the club.

Exactly 7 years ago on 21 January 2017 a similar gathering was held in the Clubhouse and the results of that assembly have transformed the club. The executive now of the belief that now is an appropriate time for another assembly with a specific LGF focus.

The outcome of this assembly will depend on the response of all those who are involved in the club including players, parents, coaches, mentors, members, officers and supporters.

All are welcome and indeed it is essential that there is a strong response to this initiative as it is vital to get a representative cross section of the views of the many associated with the club. Members are reluctant to attend AGM-type gatherings for many reasons including the fear that they might leave with an unwanted job. As a result, the club is losing out on much of potential value.

The forum has been organised to provide the Shamrocks’ community with an opportunity to make a contribution to the club’s future without the necessity of attending an AGM which in many ways is an outmoded concept.
