Leinster vs Edinburgh

There is a will to increase cooperation
with other community organisations in
the local area and to engage with other
clubs and groups with at least one new
formal collaboration each year.
This is part of the wish to bring the
community into the club, as exemplified
by the relationship with Dolmen Athletics
Club.
In 2014, a 10-person management
committee was formed, meeting twice-aweek,
to make hard financial decisions,
reporting back to the executive monthly.
The result of which was running two Gala
dinners with Joe Schmidt and Johnny
Sexton appearing as headline speakers,
plus two very enjoyable outdoor summer
concerts.
The governance and structure element is
there to ensure high standards in running
the club and continually working around
any transition for those coming into new
positions.
“This ensures the tasks and roles being
carried out within the club are being
guided and monitored,” says Hannon.
“It includes every role from small to big
so that each person is clear about what is
expected of them.”
The club acknowledges the continued
support of the members, the IRFU, Leinster
Branch, sponsors and various public
schemes all of which keep its progress
on track.
“We are indebted to our membership
database, in particular the support
given to subscriptions secretary Michael
Carbery over the last two years in
concern to the Covid pandemic,” says
chairperson Edel Gibbons.
It sounds like County Carlow club is on
its way.
