The committee met on 12th June to finalise the proposed short, medium and long term objectives for The 1903.
The SLO’s then joined our meeting. They established that their role is on a voluntary basis. First and foremost they are supporters, like us, followed by their SLO roles. We had a brief discussion about the role of the SLOs in terms of The 1903.
It was decided that the next meeting should be a members one, where the committee can put the proposals to the members.
The committee met on 8th June to discuss short, medium and long term objectives for The 1903, with an aim to putting together a proposal to put before members in a members meeting in the coming weeks.
There were discussions about various ideas about what the club can do as well as who we can liaise with to make things happen.
The committee agreed to meet again on 12th June. It was decided to make this a meeting of two parts, starting with a discussion to finalise the discussion on aims and objectives after which we would ask the Supporters Liaison Officers at Dundalk FC to join us to discuss the possible formats for communication between The 1903 and the SLOs.
This meeting was scheduled for Saturday 12th June.
The committee met on June 2nd and started by introducing themselves to get to know each other.
The 1903 will have a Dundalk address and our financial address will be the Treasurer’s address.
The committee agreed to build a website and set up email addresses as well as social media profiles on Facebook and Twitter. Other social platforms may be considered in the future.
The committee agreed on the logo, with a plan to review and come up with a higher resolution logo going forward to allow for more options in terms of its use.
There was an initial conversation about membership offers. The members will be compiled into a single list using the website as the central point.
No supporter will be excluded for financial reasons, but it is also essential that the 1903 gains funding to increase the options in terms of its function.
The committee will meet again on Tuesday 8th June to discuss options around short, medium and long term objectives which will be proposed to the members when a final version has been prepared.
The inaugural meeting of the new Dundalk FC Supporters club took place on Monday 31st May.
The meeting was held on Zoom due to COVID restrictions. Stephen Todd and Jane McDermott, new Supporter Liaison Officers at Dundalk FC, chaired the meeting for the election process as they were neutral and not eligible for nomination or election.
The committee was elected as follows:
Chair: Brendan Ogle
Vice Chair: Andrea McQuillan
Secretary: Jane Waldron
Treasurer: Damien Mackin
Marketing & PR Office: Lee McConville
The new supporters club aims to run in a democratic format and is open to all Dundalk FC supporters.
The members present agreed on a name: The 1903, Dundalk FC Supporters Club
There was discussion on the logo but opinions were split so it was agreed to revisit at a later date.
There were some discussions on membership options as well as on the format for proposed communications with the club, with an option for Jane and Stephen to join the committee as non-voting members for direct communication.
The elected committee will meet soon to come up with proposals which they will then present to members at a future members meeting.
