The social committee has the task of deciding and organising club social events. Events such as the Munster Senior Open Barbeque or new members night are the responsibility of the Social Committee. In addition to this, they often organise a number of ad hoc smaller social events throughout the year. The Social Committee is not an elected committee and so is possible for members to get involved at any time of year. If you would like to get involved with the committee please contact the office.
