TRR host Senior Internationals
Don’t forget TRR is playing host to two senior international games in the next 2 weeks!
Irelands womens team will host Scotland over a 3 game series from the 2nd-4th of November, with our club hosting two of the three games. Those who often attend internationals will know that it is not every day that they are played away from the national pitch in UCD. To be chosen to host them is an honour and one which we are looking forward to experiencing.
For all of our juniors, school children will be admitted for free, while there will also be an opportunity to meet and greet the girls at the end of both games for photo signing. The Wooden Spoon will be open with refreshments so please come along and support our club in its hosting of these international games. We have 20 girls signed up for the games to be team mascots, while our 16 and 14s girls will get the chance to ball girl for the games!
The first game takes place on Sunday the 2nd of November at 6pm, while the second game will be on Monday the 3rd at 7pm.
Open forum feedback
Last Friday an open forum was held to discuss the options ahead of us as we build a 5 year plan for the club. The following areas were discussed:
– increasing senior player membership and performance
– increasing junior membership and sense of belonging
– creating a family environment
– linking/merging with other sports club/institutions
Briefly, the need to link our junior and senior sides played a strong part in the feedback on the night, as was the need to push the ladies side of the club in particular over the next few years in order to develop a stronger base. All of this though is linked to the creation of a community that is family based, but offers plenty of social reward and care to our current senior members. There was a reluctance to merge with other bodies, although the possibility of development of certain areas of the club in order to increase revenue was not dismissed.
Feedback from the forum will now be merged with individual feedback to create a draft final long term goals of the 5 year plan for the upcoming committee and council joint meeting on November 18th.
Plenty of feedback was given, but more is always welcome. If you have any thoughts or considerations on any of the above points please contact Ali Keogh at alisonfkeogh@gmail.com in the next 2 weeks.
