Today is macra club of the year deadline

Today is the closing date for Macra’s club of the year competition. Meath clubs who work hard to improve their club and their community are urged to apply for the 2015 competition. Application forms are available from Macra National Office and on macra.ie.

The aim of the competition is to recognise and reward the hard work and commitment of clubs and members.

Six clubs are selected to go forward to the national final, which will take place at this year’s Annual Conference (Rally) in Cork over the October bank holiday weekend.
Macra National President, Seán Finan, said: “Our members make a big impact on their clubs and local communities and we are recognising those efforts with the Club of the Year and Best New Member competitions. This competition is open to all Macra clubs and new members and I am urging them to enter.”
The 'Best New Member’ Award will be presented as part of the Club of the Year competition to one individual Macra member who is deemed by his/her club to have made a significant contribution to the development of the club during their first year of membership. The 'Best Emerging Club’ category is specifically for new and emerging Macra clubs. The Best Emerging Club award has been designed to acknowledge the achievements of newly established Macra clubs.
Application forms have been distributed to clubs who can submit their applications directly to Macra national office. Download the form from the competition download section of macra.ie.
