Centenary Year
Letterkenny Golf Club who like ourselves are celebrating this their Centenary Year. A twinning arrangement has been arrived at involving both clubs whereby members of both Clubs can play each other’s course for as little as 10 Euro green fees. Members will be asked to produce Membership identity. A trip to Letterkenny Golf Club was organised last weekend by Kevin, Secretary, of the Mens Club. Led by our Captain Gerard, in the region of 30 members travelled and participated. We would like to express our thanks to Letterkenny Club Captain Henry and to Lady Captain Sandra (both natives of County Monaghan) who greeted us on arrival and for their appreciation and courtesy shown to us, as part of their Centenary Celebrations they will be paying us a return visit later in the year.

AGM
The joint club AGM was held last Sunday afternoon which started with a précis of the year’s activities and main events ably reported by the outgoing Treasurer Brian Moore, who was thanked for doing a fabulous job but sadly has to stand down due to work commitments and Secretary Paddy McKeown who captured the year perfectly making special mention of our volunteers, Mary Logue our Bar Steward and especially Finbar and Hugh John who have done a fabulous job keeping the course in tip top shape, as usual. Thanks also to the Classic and Alpha Bet committees for their wonderful fund raising for the club. Congratulations were offered to President Martin Taylor on the birth of his grandchild which accounted for his absence. The new Committee were elected and Martin Taylor was voted back in as President, Paddy McKeown as Secretary. Donal O’Reilly is our new Treasurer. The committee members are Maureen Lynch, Anne McCarthy Kathleen Leonard, Paul Fitzpatrick, George Rice, Liam Quigley, Mike Keane and Victor Chambers.
