Ballycastle GAA begin the process of Preparing A Club Development Plan

 

Ballycastle GAA Club have been hard at work for the last few months preparing the ground work for their Club Development plan. The next stage in the process will take place in Ballycastle Town Hall on the 2nd November at 8pm where all interested parties are invited to a development workshop. Club PRO Mairtín Flannery was quoted as saying “the workshop is an opportunity for all our community to have their say in how they would like to see their club develop. We would love to see as many parents, former players, family members of former members or anyone with a passing interest in sports or outdoor activity, come along.”

The workshop will take no longer than two hours, and the success of the event is hugely dependant on the numbers of people who participate.
