We will take our place at County Committee meetings along with the other 41 GAA units in Cavan. Our first meeting will be in early April and our first Official Club Committee meeting will take place shortly after. We thank all of those who came to our recent meeting to ratify the transition committee which will take us to the next stage of development.
We have a significant amount of people and organisations to thank for helping us to get to this stage and we will formally recognise this at a later date most likely to mark our tenth anniversary which happens this summer. We are now at the end of the beginning………….now on to the next phase!!
