A.G.M.
I am happy to report that things are returning to normal, and this year we
were able to hold our A.G.M in the club with an excellent number of members in attendance.
Our President Ronan McMaugh thanked all his outgoing committee, sub committees and the many people
who helped him during the past two years
Special thanks his fellow officer Hon Treasurer Angela O'Neill who is stepping down, after
a superb term of three years in office,
and fellow committee members Marie Morrissey, Rachel Connellan, Helen Friel and Mick Lynch
who are also stepping down having done an excellent job.
Outgoing President Ronan McMaugh was widely thanked and praised for his stewardship of the club
during the past two difficult years of the pandemic, and the decision to adopt Real Bridge
was hailed as a great success.
He offered incoming President Mike Gowie and his committee every good wish and luck in the future
