Ulster GAA Irish News Club and Volunteer Conference 2010

[ziggysego]

As you are aware the planned budget cuts are going to have a detrimental effect on future capital and revenue funding for sport in the nine Counties of Ulster, therefore to ensure that Ulster Clubs benefit from future Sport NI/DCAL/DSD funding and future Capital Funding programmes from the Irish Sports Council in the 26 Counties we are encouraging all Clubs to send delegates to the Ulster GAA Conference to get information on funding, governance, strategic planning and future applications.


On the day there will be ministerial representation from both

Dublin Government- Department of Foreign Affairs
Department of Social Development
Additionally Senior Officials from DCAL and Sport NI will also be present as well as representatives from local Councils both North and South.
We will also have representatives from a range of organisations and groups including Banks and Social and Community Lending organisations to review loan levels and interest rates. 

Ulster GAA Clubs have been extremely successful at securing public funding support for their capital development projects due the collaborate and supportive approach that
the Ulster Council have adopted. If you Club has a significant future project planned or is the process of completing a project or has significant debt due to the recent completion of a project we are asking you to attend the event as we will have representatives from various organisations present on the day to lend support and give advice. 

Finally as all Clubs should now be aware attendance at this Conference by representatives of your Club  is a requirement of the Club Maith (Club Mark) Award. As you know from November 2010 onward no Club can apply for future funding programmes  or for GAA grant funding with out first having a level of Club Maith therefore it is vitally important that you Club is represented at this event.

To register to your place at the Conference please e-mail conference.ulster@gaa.ie or contact Sharon Haughey at 02837521900
