Please also note that the club grounds are closed to activities other than those planned and supervised under the Safe Return to Gaelic Games protocols.

Midleton GAA AGM
The Midleton GAA Annual General Meeting will take place on Wednesday 9th December 2020.
This year we will hold an 'AGM Day' as opposed to our normal AGM.
Therefore we will NOT meet in our Clubhouse and it will NOT take place online.
‘AGM Day’
The Executive of Midleton GAA has decided to opt for the 'AGM Day' option.
This is for several reasons:
- Given the Current Covid 19 restrictions and the fact that we normally have a minimum of 60 to 100 people at an AGM means we will not be able to meet in our Clubhouse until who knows when.
- Also, from using online technology for the last number of months for Executive Meetings the view of the Executive is that it would not be suitable for our AGM for potentially 60 to 100 people.
- The ‘AGM Day’ option is formally approved by the GAA.
Using the ‘AGM Day’ formats means we will observe the normal formalities of a GAA AGM but not have an actual AGM Meeting in person or online.
- We will circulate Notice of the AGM, Nominations and Motions papers to members in the normal way.
- Any votes that are required will take place by post.
- All reports e.g Secretary's and Financial as well as Chairman’s Address to the Meeting will be circulated to members in advance.
- On the actual AGM Day the election of Officer’s and the new Executive Committee is confirmed.
- Any question regarding content of reports may be submitted in writing to the new Executive Committee who will reply within 7 days after of the AGM Day

Camogie
Our U16 group will finish up training this weekend on Sunday 29Th November. A little later than we would normally but the girls and the coaches were happy to keep training after what was a very successful season for this group. We would like to thank the U16 Management Team and their backroom Team for all their dedication and commitment during this difficult year. They can all take a well-deserved break now. Other groups that are still training will wind down next weekend. No stopping these girls and their coaches.
Ladies Football
At the recent East Cork Board AGM our Club Delegate Deirdre Kenny was once again nominated and elected as their PRO for the coming year. Well done to you Deirdre. We are delighted that our Club is represented by you. You have done an excellent job this year in raising the profile of all Clubs in the East Cork area.
Looking forward to 2021 we will be looking for help from Parents for some of our younger groups. If you can give an hour at training please let us know. You can contact Tracy on 087-6625544.
