The subcommittee had 12 formal meetings, and many others of a direct organisational nature<br />
meeting at Scór venues and after adjudications. There were also 32 meetings with clubs in<br />
clusters to assist them with setting up their language classes – sometimes there were 2 meetings<br />
on one evening to facilitate committee members’ attendance. We were invited to and met other<br />
relevant committees. Presentations were made at Croke Park in February and a further<br />
presentation was given to the National Language Convention in Co Mayo in June. Furthermore<br />
2 members our sub committee received a national award in recognition of Irish language<br />
promotional activity. On these 3 occasions members of the national committee hosted us and<br />
encouraged the subcommittee in their ongoing work with the promotion and development of<br />
our culture and language through Scór and other language initiatives.<br />
In conclusion I would like to sincerely thank all the members of the subcommittee for<br />
commitment and dedication to all their work in the promotion and development of our<br />
national culture and language.<br />

Website<br />
At the start of the year I met with the management committee and sought approval to redesign<br />
the <strong>Tyrone</strong><strong>GAA</strong>.ie website. The new website was launched on 1 st April <strong>2010</strong> and while there<br />
have been a few teething problems, the site has proved enormously popular. I have listed below<br />
a few statistics based on the seven-month period from 1 st April to 31 st October.<br />
• Over 250,000 hits in seven months<br />
• 1,415,548 page views<br />
• The most popular page is the Club page<br />
• 79,260 different computers have visited the site<br />
• We have had visitors from 106 different countries<br />
The group met twice this year to consider changes to the new website and the management of<br />
the Fixtures on the Servasport system. The workload during the year has been based mainly<br />
upon the presentation of fixtures on the website feed from Servasport. I am happy to report<br />
to delegates that these issues have now been resolved.<br />
I would like to acknowledge the following people who alongside myself work hard to keep<br />
the website regularly up to date.<br />

Facebook and Twitter<br />
During the summer this year I decided to get <strong>Tyrone</strong> <strong>GAA</strong> up and running on the social<br />
networking sites Facebook and Twitter. At present over 3600 people regularly follow the<br />
happenings of <strong>Tyrone</strong> <strong>GAA</strong> while 99 people follow us on Twitter.<br />
Servasport System<br />
There is a need to spend a little time this winter to address the accuracy of clubs’ data re.<br />
membership. As a member of the IT group I would hope to be in a position to offer this<br />
support very early on in the new year.<br />
