Executive Summary
Origin of Plan.
Kilmore GAA
held a General Meeting of its members on February 2nd 2014 to mark
the 125th anniversary of its foundation on February 2nd

|
Summary of
Recommendations.
|
| |
| |
| |
| |
|
|
a. We
recommend that the implementation of this plan should be the responsibility
of an
|
|
|
Executive
Sub Committee in accordance with rule 7.15 of our Constitution.
|
|
|
|
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
|
|
b. Amend rule 7.15c in the Constitution to read
as follows;
|
| |
| |
|
|
a Development and Maintenance Committee whose
members shall include representatives of
|
|
|
the Ladies Club, the Minor Committee, Rounder’s
and a players representative.
|
|
|
|
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
|
|
c. That the registration and vesting process for
our property should be
|
|
|
initiated in respect of lots 1 and 2 without
undue delay in accordance with the loan agreement
|
|
|
with Croke Park and an Executive decision in
2014.
|
| |
| |
| |
|
|
We further recommend that this process is
completed not later than Dec 31st 2017.
|
|
|
|
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
|
|
4. That the following steps are taken regarding
the 2nd playing field.
|
| |
|
|
a. That
the area between the 2nd playing field & the main pitch is completely
cleared.
|
|
|
b. That a
secure fence is constructed between the two fields with gates to allow access
|
|
|
for
vehicles and players.
|
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
|
|
c. That
this field is used as a parking area on the occasions of major fixtures.
|
|
|
d. That a
new entrance is made from the car park to this field to allow parking
access
|
|
|
for
traffic coming from the Hillstreet direction.
|
| |
| |
| |
|
|
e. Make a
pedestrian exit/entrance for safe egress/access from/to the existing car
park.
|
|
|
f. One
existing entrance from the Strokestown Road should become our new emergency
exit /entrance to all areas of the facility.
|
|
|
Parking
access for all other traffic should be from the other entrance from the
Strokestown Road.
|
|
|
Planning
will not be required as there are already two existing entrances in place.
|
|
|
g. Install new player shelters between the two
playing fields.
|
| |
| |
| |
|
|
|
| |
| |
|
|
|
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
|
|
|
| |
| |
|
|
5. The committee recommends that the following
items should also be included in the club's
|
|
|
infrastructural development plan.
|
| |
| |
| |
a.Put an overall landscaping plan in place. This
should include, as priority, the car park area.
|
|
|
b. Develop a walkway around the entire site. This
would be a safe exercise area away from the
|
|
|
dangers of public roadways. It could also be used
for athletics training, jogging, weight loss and
|
|
|
fitness programmes such as operation
transformation. We recommend that a plan is drawn up
|
|
|
for this project immediately.
|
| |
| |
| |
| |
c. Install a fully equipped Gym upstairs in the
clubrooms. This should be treated as a longer term
|
|
|
proposal with particular reference to available
funding.
|
| |
d. Install an Electronic Scoreboard. Again a
longer term objective.
