St.Mary’s GAC recently jointed an elite
family within GAA clubs being awarded a Gold Club Maith Award. It’s a
tremendous honour to be considered for a Club Maith award especially Gold,
Ulster Council Club and Community Development Officer Maura Kelly informed
St.Mary’s of the incredible Gold Accreditation.
Club Maith is a club accreditation
scheme which is unique to the GAA, it allows clubs to be benchmarked against
best practise standards across the full range of GAA Club activity. A Club
Maith Award makes a clear proven statement about the quality of a club right
across the board. Applications are scored on five categories – Governance, Duty
of Care, Community Enhancement, Culture & Heritage, Coaching & Games
Development, all of which St.Mary’s GAC have worked hard on and will continue
to endeavour.
This
is remarkable achievement for the Club, and indeed, sets Naomh Mhuire apart
from most, however, these kind of awards are not handed out and do not arrive
without much organisation, management, hard work and effort by alot of
dedicated people. Obviously, there have been many club volunteers involved at
various stages throughout this process, too many to mention individually -
Congratulations and well done to everyone, the concentrated efforts have reaped
great rewards.
