There are few certainties in life apparently except for death and taxes, but surely an AGM starting and running late is another. However that won’t be the case for Cavan club Knockbride this Friday.
You may be aware of Fergal Smith, the 11 year-old Cavan youngster who wrote to Ryan Tubridy about hosting the toy show. His letter got a great deal of publicity and Tubs, being the kind soul that he is, has decided to recruit Fergal for the annual show.
However, this has had repercussions for his own GAA club, with the AGM scheduled for 8.30pm now being put to the earlier time of 7.45pm in order to catch the budding star make his television debut.
We would have thought that could be cutting it fine, regardless of tardiness, given the way these meetings tend to drag on, but it seems they are keen to get out on time.
Knockbride GAA, possibly the only club in the country that know the latest the AGM will go on for.
