Hi 

As our new development is getting ever closer to be realised, we need to commence planning from a club perspective, how we are going to move forward with the development and getting up and running.

 
My name is Dave Rooney and I am a member of our club Executive and I have been tasked to commence planning for our move to our new club  development with this in mind, I am seeking to create a Committee under the Development Strategy area to consider the following areas which will ensure a smooth transition from existing club house at Bremore Park to our New Club development.

 
The areas which will fall under the remit of this project will be the below which is not exhaustive list;

1. Transition

• What do we need to bring with us 
• When do we need to move it ( do we need to factor in a phased transition ) 
• How do we move it   
  

2. Finance 

• Forecast cost requirement Day to Day 
• Additional costs to get ready for  set up 

3. Mobilisation /Ramp up for  FDOP ( First Day of Play ) 

• Transition of teams to new playing schedule 
• Allocation of pitches / Ball wall / Training Hall 
• Storage area fit out & Allocation 
• Juvenile goal storage
