Kilcullen GAA AGM:
The meeting began with Secretary Sue Goulding giving her report on all sections of the club, thanking all those involved with all teams and those not involved with teams but who give help in other capacities such helpers at the Teenage Disco

Treasurer Jim Kiely gave a brief synopsis on the state of the club financially stating that the moneys of the club were in good order but fundraising has to be maintained to a high level so as to keep the club developing.

The reports from the sections were covered firstly by Chairman of the Juvenile Section Martin Creaton who looked back on an exciting year from the grades from Under 8 to Under 13; Martin thanked all those who helped to coach the youngsters during the year but also stressed the need for older people to get involved in the coaching aspect as numbers of coaches are lacking these days.

Secondly Dan Bell spoke about the boys from Under 14 to Under 16, particularly pointing out that the talent is there at this level and we must nurture it in the correct way. Dan also spoke about the ladies section of the club stating that the sheer enthusiasm among ladies for football nowadays is striking and despite suffering two heartbreaking losses in two finals, the ladies are ready to pick themselves up and go again next year.

Chairman Martin Whyte stepped down after two years at the helm. In his address, Martin paid tribute to his hard-working committee for all their efforts over the past two years with particular importance given to the support of secretary, Sue Goulding and Treasurer, Jim Kiely.

Martin paid special tribute to Jim Kiely for his innovative new ideas that Jim brought to the club especially the monthly teenage disco which not only raised valuable money for the club but also and more importantly gave the youth of Kilcullen and surrounding areas an outlet to spend time in a supervised capacity. Martin expressed his sadness at the Senior Team being relegated to Intermediate ranks but thanked the players for their efforts during a long and arduous year.

A minutes silence was then observed for the Aspell, Allen and Doran families who had all recently lost relatives.

On being elected Chairman, John Mulhall thanked the large attendance for being installed as chairman and gave a brief outline of his plans for the future of the club. Des O' Brien was elected Vice-Chairman with Sue Goulding re-elected as Secretary. Jim Kiely stepped down as Treasurer to Assistant Treasurer with Albert Keenan elected Treasurer. Henry Barrett was also re-elected as Public Relations officer with Conor Gleeson as Registrar. A large committee was then formed on the basis of nominations from the floor, of which the first committee meeting will take place next Monday, 17th December in the clubhouse at 8.30pm.

John Whyte.
