A FRAMEWORK FOR INTEGRATION
The completed document, “A FRAMEWORK FOR INTEGRATION,” which was researched and written by Billy Ryle, Club Vice-Chairman will be launched at 7pm on Tuesday, 18th November at the meeting room in the Club Gymnasium, Connolly Park. Billy will present a copy of the advisory document, which has taken the best part of a year to research, organize and write, to the Chairpersons of Austin Stacks Hurling & Football Club and Austin Stacks LGFA Club at the beginning of the launch.
Club Chairman, Éamonn O’Reilly will preside at the launch and Colm Mangan will act as Recording Secretary. Billy will make a short presentation on the purpose and structure of the document. Both clubs will then take some days to study the recommendations and the strategic steps set out in the framework before deciding on the next course of action.
All members of both clubs are cordially invited to the launch of the document. Members are encouraged to take some days after the launch to study the document for your personal information. Billy stated that it had been a privilege and a pleasure to prepare the framework for integration of our two clubs and he is very grateful for the manner in which club members engaged with the various stages of the project. The document, “A Framework for Integration,” will hopefully help to consolidate Austin Stacks GAA Club as a dominant force in the new GAA.
