End of an Era at A.G.M

Many Tributes were paid to retiring Chairman Jack Chaplin who stepped down from his office as Chairman of Cratloe GAA Club after fourteen seasons at the helm at the Clubs first ever AGM to be held in the Sportshall on Sunday last. Jack thanked all his officers who assisted through his tenure which began with Cratloe's Intermediate success of 1994. Since then Jack oversaw the development of the club through Clare's lofty successes in the mid nineties to Sundays meeting held in one of the finest amenities held by any GAA club in the district.

Many of Jack's fellow officers thanked him for his undying commitment and constant positivity toward his native club over his time at the top table and looked forward to working with him in another capacity in the future. Among much of the work undergone by him, Jack was also responsible for the idea of creating this website five years ago so from all at cratloegaa.com, Míle Buiochas Séan!

Sundays AGM was not only historic in its venue but was also marked the 120th year of the Club since its inception in 1887. Jack Liddane was on hand to photograph the occasion with a group photo of all officers.
