Letterkenny AC Club Notes

September 2009

The Annual General Meeting of the club took place on Tuesday night in The Mount Errigal Hotel. After two years at the helm our Chairman, Ciaran O’Donnell has stepped down. Ciaran was a fantastic chairman and brought the club to a ‘new level’ in all aspects and his absence will leave a void hard to fill. However, thankfully, he will be on the committee.

The new chairman is Gerry Davenport. The full committee is as follows; Chairman: Gerry Davenport, Vice-Chairman: C.J McGinley, Secretary: Laura Corbett, Assistant Secretary: Catherine Russell, Treasurer: Eunan Kelly, Assistant Treasurer: Garvan McCloskey, Registrar: Martin Gormley, PRO: C.J.McGinley, Juvenile PRO: Neil Cullen, Juvenile Registrar: Terri Boyle, Senior Club Captain: Gary Crossan and Vice Captain: Danny McDaid and Maria McCambridge.

The following is a list of the committee members elected on the night. They were; Ciaran O’Donnell, Brendan McDaid, Anthony Ward, Sharon Bradley, Michael Black, Neilly Mc Daid, Aidan McKenna, Kevin Ferry, Sean Crossan, Mark Bolton, Danny Mooney and Sean McBrearty.

A report of the meeting will appear in next week’s notes. Good luck Gerry and his team for the year ahead.

All members are asked to attend and support from all our juvenile and senior athletes and parents would be appreciated.

The club has rescheduled our Flag Day fundraiser. It is now taking place on Saturday, September 12.

The lotto numbers last weekend were 6, 10,12 and 24. There was one match three winner- Rickey Blake, c/o Blakes Bar.

The jackpot this Saturday is €1,240 and the draw takes place in The Glencar Inn as usual. Thanks to Danny and Kathleen McDaid who were on lotto duty last Saturday night. The club extends sympathy to the Roarty family, Croagh Patrick Avenue, on the passing of Hugo last week, a former LAC athlete.
