GAA Special Congress to discuss report

THE GAA will hold a Special Congress in October to discuss motions arising from the report of the membership sub-committee which recommended a number of rule changes.

The sub-committee, under the chairmanship of Jack Boothman, was established to examine the Rules of the Association and the Club Constitution with regard to membership.

The subcommittee has recommended that 40 rules be changed or amended in this context, with a similar number of changes and amendments to the Club Constitution.

It was also agreed that delegations to this Congress will be half of the normal number. The date and venue for the Congress has yet to be confirmed.

It was also confirmed that the 2005 Annual Congress will be held in Croke Park on April 15 and 16.
