The adjourned A.G.M. of the St. John's  G.A.A. Club took place in the meeting rooms in Stenson Park Cuilbeg today.  Outgoing Chairman Colm Nevin welcomed everyone to the meeting.  In another well attended A.G.M. Colm Nevin began by extending new year greetings and wished everyone associated with the club a good year ahead.  He complimented Niall Gordon & Ray Henry since the last meeting who worked hard in the last 2 weeks getting the various Committees set up Pitch, Finance, Social etc.  The G.A.A National Club Draw tickets were handed out costing €10 each and all the money raised will be going towards the club. 

From the last A.G.M. that took place on Saturday 20th December the vacant roles of Chairman, Secretary & Treasurer were eventually filled.  Sean Reilly  was elected Secretary, Seamus Flanagan come on board as Treasurer and in a long drawn out discussion on who would be the next Chairman.  A number of people were asked to put their names forward but all declined.  It looked like the meeting would have had to be adjourned again but club stalwarts Niall Gordon & Ray Henry put their names forward and were duly elected to take the club forward in 2015. The duo were proposed by Bridie McLean & Seconded by Paddy Galvin.
