The meeting was opened by Secretary Clement Hehir. No surprises to report from Clement from the accounts of 2008. Clement is an asset to the Society and his work does not go without acknowledgement amongst its members. A large thank you must also go to our sponsors for all our outings last year and also in 2009 as they help to ensure that we keep the finances healthy. Both outgoing Captain Tom Allen and outgoing President Tommy Barrett paid tribute to the hardworking committee for their efforts throughout the year. 2008 was another great year for the Society and this was reflected in the emotional speeches by the outgoing officers. The new Committee were voted in without objection and best wishes to Brendan, Alan and Clement for the year ahead. A few new faces in the committee this year and we hope that they have a great year in 2009. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The following are the officer’s and committee for the coming year: Captain: Brendan Griffin - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - |
