Annual General Meeting, Wednesday, 25 January 2023
Omagh Probus Club held its Annual General Meeting on Wednesday, 25th January 2023 in Omagh Golf Club with 16 members present. This was the club’s first AGM since before the pandemic, and an opportunity for President Michael Cooney to step down – an opportunity which he welcomed after three challenging years in the post. In keeping with established practice Vice President, Hugh Ward, was elected President unopposed to take up the reins of the club in the modern era. Felim O’Neill gladly gave up his position as Treasurer to become Vice-President, with responsibilities for the Club Programme.
Committee [L – R] Jim McBain, Alastair Orr, Felim O’Neill, Hugh Ward, Michael CooneyOut-going President, Michael Cooney, needed some persuasion to become Club Treasurer, but was prevailed on to take a job in keeping with his professional background in local government. The remaining offices were filled “en bloc” with current post-holders re-appointed. Alastair Orr stayed on as Secretary and Jim McBain retained his post as Public Relations Officer and Archivist. The new committee wasted no time in getting down to work, drawing up a programme for the rest of the year, including an Inter-club Table Quiz, the Annual Outing and the Christmas Dinner 2023.
