St Peters GAC Warrenpoint became the first club to achieve a Platinum award since the Club Maith scheme has become licensed as part of Sport NI’s Clubmark scheme. The Irish Sports Council have also endorsed the scheme.
Platinum clubs are exceptional GAA clubs achieving all Club Maith criteria. Club representatives were presented with their award at the recent Ulster GAA Club and Volunteer Conference by GAA President Elect Liam O’Neill.
Clubs receiving a Club Maith award are accredited for three years. Thus far nine clubs have been accredited in the scheme with over 100 clubs actively in the process of completing their Club Maith Portfolio.
An “Applying for Club Maith” workshop will be rolled-out in each county in the upcoming Club Officer Training programme in early 2012. For any queries relating to Club Maith please contact Maura Kelly on maura.kelly.ulster@gaa.ie
