The training session is open to all GAA clubs within County Armagh and the Ulster Council are urging all club officers to attend, including: Chairpersons, Secretaries, PROs, Treasurers, Children’s Officers, Coaching Co-ordinators, Development Officers and Cultural/Community Officers.

The training day will commence with registration from 9am, with official business starting at 9:20am sharp.  The programme will conclude at 1:30pm with a light lunch.

Speaking ahead of the event Ulster GAA President Tom Daly said, “Club Maith: Officer Training Programme will provide club officers with all the information and advice needed to carry out their role as a GAA Club Official, while developing the skills and talents of those tasked with ensuring good governance within their clubs.

“The day will be facilitated by Ulster GAA staff, County Board Officials and volunteers and will cover a wide range of issues including: general club issues. The rules of the GAA, IT and the new GAA registration system, child protection, health and wellness, and our new agenda on diversity and inclusion.  At the very core of the Programme will be the interactive workshops which will focus on the individual roles and responsibilities within the club set-up.”

Secretary of Armagh County Board Paddy Og Nugent said, “We are delighted that Armagh will be the very first county in Ulster to receive this training and I urge all clubs to ensure that they are well represented on the day.  This half-day event will provide clubs with essential information and useful advice about running a GAA club.  This is an event not to be missed for clubs.”
