Club AGM
Happenings
We’re delighted to
say that we were able to present cheques for €1,700 each to our three chosen
charities at our AGM, which was held on Tuesday 1 October in the Park Hotel. We
presented them to John Moran of West Waterford Hospice, Erich Baumann,
representing Dungarvan Lions Club and Richard Dykes, represented SEMRA. We’d
like to thank John Moran for coming to the meeting to collect his cheque.
A few committee
changes were also announced. Tony Fitzgerald stepped down as chairman of the
club at the AGM, and we’d like to thank him for his commitment and thoroughness
over the last three years. He was replaced by Neil Fitzgerald. Marcus
O’Halloran is our new website coordinator and Michael Daly is our new B walk
coordinator. The others are remaining in their roles, and we wish our new
committee the best of luck.
Club Fees Increase
Technically, our
fees are not increasing, but we have removed our early payment discount and our
couples discount. That means all members will now pay €40 each per year,
regardless of when they pay or whether their partner is in the club too. The
increase is happening because Mountaineering Ireland are increasing their fees
for membership and they supply our insurance.
Club Christmas
Party
Ronagh Baumann is
now taking names for the club Christmas party, happening on Saturday 7 December
at 7pm in Merries Restaurant, Dungarvan. We will have the upstairs area to
ourselves this year, with space for 40 people. The price is €31.50 for a
three-course meal and €26.50 for two courses. You can pick up tickets at the
November club meeting on Tuesday 5 November or you can contact Ronagh on 087
7986753.
Spring Weekend
Away
On the May Bank
Holiday Weekend in 2020, the club will be heading to Kilkeele in Co. Down, close
to the beautiful Sliabh Donard area, where we will be able to enjoy lots of
beautiful walks. We will be staying in a place called Kilmurray Lodge. Mary
Murphy will be revealing more details in the coming weeks.
