2011 Sports Partnership Committee

The Sports Partnership is currently reviewing its membership and will be writing out to all representative groups for nominations for the board for the term of 2011-2013. Sports Clubs should expect to receive these nomination forms and all relevant information in the next week and are asked to consider nominating people whose contribution to the development of sport and physical activity would benefit the Sports Partnership. The committee meets approximately 6–8 times per year to oversee the work of the organisation and is keen to bring people onboard who will actively work towards increasing participation in County Monaghan  across all sports and all recreational pursuits which encourage people to become, and stay, more active in their lives.
