Agenda for Meeting

General Meeting:
Due to unacceptable training attendances, poor commitment and general lack of interest we feel it is necessary for everyone to attend a meeting after training next Thursday evening June 3rd at 8pm in the club house at the Partille training facilities.

AGENDA:
The Agenda topics that need to be discussed are:

1) Training Attendance & General Commitment by players
We need to determine if everyone is prepared to give a better commitment to ensure the survival of Gothenburg GAA club. There were only two male players at training on Thursday night last week and one on Tuesday night. We will not win anything, or even be competitive, if we continue like this.
We are all aware that we are struggling with numbers this year so it is even more important that the existing players we have give a better commitment to the team, the club, training and tournaments.
The time for excuses is over! It's now make or break time for the club. We are either going to pull together and make the remainder of this year a success or we can postpone all events and training sessions for this year and inform the European GAA board of our intentions.

2) Upcoming Scandinavian Tournament in Malmö
On Thursday night we need to decide who will be travelling to Malmö on June 19th and decide how many nights we will stay. We also need to decide the best method of collecting the required fees and costs for this and upcoming tournaments.

3)Fund-raising & Sponsorship
There were loads of ideas and enthusiasm about fund-raising when we had our last meeting at the beginning of the year. Apart from the St. Patrick's Day draw, we have not been very successful in raising funds and/or sponsorship for the club. Whatever the reasons are for this it is now in the past and we need to look forward. A fund-raising committee will be established during the meeting and a set of tasks drawn up with Due Dates and Persons Responsible. Some of the tasks will be as follows:

Tasks
a) Hold a meeting with The Dubliner before June 19th to discuss the situation and obtain the funding that has been pledged.
b) Organise fund-raising social night in the Portuguese Club.
c) Plan fund-raising events for July and August (to assist with the payment of our own tournament in August and the proposed trip to Budapest later in the year).

4) Our own Tournament on August 15th
As this cannot be done by one person we need to select an organising committee to ensure this is will be a success. The elected committee will draw up a similar set of tasks to the fundraising tasks above, again with Due Dates and Responsible Persons for each task.

5) New Players
We need to discuss briefly what more can be done to get more players. All ideas are welcome.

6) AOB (any other business)
Here you will have the opportunity to air your views on any issues you have with the club, training, facilities, tournaments, fees & costs, fundraising, etc.

We look forward to seeing you all on Thursday evening.

Is mise le meas,
Billy Finn & Declan Redmond
Chairman & Secretary Gothenburg GAA
