Club Administration & Development In addition to its normal day-to-day work - overseeing routine tasks in and around the Club - the Coiste play an important role in developing strategic initiatives such as planning for the future, improving facilities, facilitating growth and other special initiatives. You'll notice that Work in these areas has been divided into a range of Work Programmes under various Coiste member . A great deal of workgets done "behind the scenes" across all sections of the Club to ensure Cuala is organisationally and financially equipped for the challenges that lie ahead. It is important to acknowledge that the vast majority of this work was completed by Cuala members giving willingly and freely of their time. We are deeply appreciative of their efforts and support. Achievements in 2009 Achievements in 2008 Achievements in 2007 Cuala members are encouraged to use these Coiste structures when requesting assistance or information about any aspect of the Club. Most importantly, there is a role for everybody in these projects and all offers of help will be warmly received. If you are interested in helping with any of the areas outlined or if you have expertise that you think will be of benefit to Cuala, please don't hesitate to contact any member of the Coiste.

Club President There is a long tradition in Cuala of recognising a lifetime's contribution of outstanding service to the Club by appointing a Club President. This is a very important role which is reserved for a members who not onlyearned the poition through a lifetime's service to Cuala but someone who still embodies everything that is best in the Club.

In May 2007, a special committee, comprising former Club Chairmen, unanimously recommended that this honour be awarded to our Third President, Jimmy Doyle.
