In the club house of Gaeil Colmcille in Kells on Saturday the 11th December, 300 GAA people from all over Ireland paid tribue to Des and his wife Maria on his 80th birthday.
Micheal Ó Muircheartaigh and Kevin Heffernan were the guests of honour and they told great stories about Dessie’s life and how he was such a great player in both GAA Hurling and Football while also being a great human person.
A number of the Barrs members travelled to Kells to honor one of Dublin’s greatest dual Players. To Conor and his family we thank you for the invite and to Dessie and Maria thanks for showing the way to many people with your wisdom and help.
Over Forty members attended our 65th AGM last night. There was plenty of speakers and discussions on all subjects involving the club over the last year.
Finishing at 12.30am, all issues got plenty of air time. As we are in difficult economic times the main discussion was around how the club was doing financially.
Our financial controller Shane Mcgill gave us a very good break down on all aspects of the clubs performance and his main massage to all our members was to play our Lotto. This was clubs main revenue generator which could be doubled in two years if members supported it.
Other topics discussed were the Gaelscoil, the performance of the teams, our new pitch, social committee and getting members involved in running teams.
It was also good to see young blood coming into the committee with the election of Seamus McGratten as registrar.
Due to the bad weather last nights A.G.M had to be cancelled due to numbers being able to attend. It is rescheduled for next Thursday at the same time again, so be part of the club and come along on the night!
