Belfast Officer Training Night

Corpus Christie College will be the venue for a unique training night for all Belfast GAA club Officers. This event will take place on Monday 18th October. This is the first  year that such an event has been held in Belfast, allowing the club officers of each GAA club  to meet, be trained  and discuss with their fellow officers  these core areas of club governance. The Ulster Council, Belfast Strategic Committee  in conjunction with the South  Antrim board are urging all club officers to attend, including chairpersons, secretaries, PROs, treasurers, children’s officers, coaching co-ordinators, development officers and cultural/community officers.  There will be individual workshops for all officers.

The training will commence with registration from 7pm, with official business starting at 7.30pm sharp.

This Officer Training Programme will provide club officers with all the information and advice needed to carry out their role as GAA club officials while developing the skills and talents of those tasked with ensuring good governance within their clubs.

The evening will be facilitated by Ulster GAA staff, South Antrim board officials plus volunteers   and will cover a wide range of issues including general club issues, rules of the GAA, IT and the new GAA registration system, child protection, health and wellness, 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.
