The Northwest region AGM took place recently online, with new Northwest vice-president Luna Orofiamma taking over as chair from Fergus O’Rourke.
On the night, outgoing chair and former vice-president Fergus thanked the outgoing committee for their help and support over his two-year term.
He paid tribute to the membership who adapted and maintained activities in difficult circumstances over the last 12 months.
He also noted some of the highlights from the region over the last two years, including Kings and Queens, hosting national competitions, national competition winners, club and county events and various workshops and training days.
The newly elected Northwest committee includes Grainne Harrington (Sligo) secretary, Diarmuid Murray (Roscommon) treasurer and Caoimhe Cusack Smith (Cavan) as PRO. Best wishes to all.
The night also saw the announcing of the winners of the Northwest County of the Region and Unsung Hero competitions, with Cavan scooping first place, Roscommon claiming second and joint third going to Sligo and Mayo. Shane Quigley of Mayo Macra won the Unsung Hero category.
Francis Brennan, one of the judges of the competition, announced the winners and complimented everyone who took part in the events.
