I see the nomination forms are out for the Co. Board convention which will take place on December 12th in Navan.
Has anybody heard any murmurings of any potential new faces at the top table?
Eamon Barry is ineligible for the Coaching Officer role anyway due to the 5 year role so we'll have a new officer there.
The deadline for nominations is on October 21st.

Jackhackett ,
I think your maths may be a bit wrong there. If my Memory is correct Eamon Barry did not serve as Coaching Officer in 2012 , that year PJ Cudden of Syddan/Castletown got the Meath Coaching officer gig on a technicality , As Barry was classed as in eligible by Barney Allen , and as Cudden was the only other Candidate he got it on a technicality .
Barry got the gig again in 2013 , ( as the very same issue arose about Cuddens Club Membership in 2013, who pays it , Castletown or Syddan ,thus falling down between two stools ) which is only 3 years in the role , if you include a further term in 2017 that's 4 years . Its a pity that the more important things in Meath football are not discussed here other than trying to make people ineligible for election based on conjecture and wishful thinking .

Personally I wouldn't remember what year different officers were elected but I've seen the nomination sheet and it states that Eamon is ineligible due to the rule.
I've no issue with Eamon and my post was certainly not based on conjecture.
It wouldn't bother me either way if he was to continue in the role.

Replying To Brownepat: "Me neither but sheets are right only one person confused" Brownpat , as usual your passing, inaccuracies off as fact .
check out the attached link .
The nomination sheets are wrong .Eamon Barry has not served 5 Consecutive years as Coaching Officer . He was not Coaching officer for the 2012 term . PJ Cudden was . He was the Coaching Officer for the 2013 term / the 2014 term /the 2015 term /and this year 2016 that's 4 year terms not 5, and thus the 5 year rule does not apply . If your memory fails Brownpat you then you check out the attached link . His break in the tenure was widely publicized.

Brownpat is in fact correct.
Rule 3.11 (b) states that " a member who has served five years either consecutively or cumulatively in a specific officership, shall be ineligible to hold that Officership for the five year period following immediately after serving the fifth year in that office"
So the 5 years do not have to have been consecutive. If Eamon Barry held the position in 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016, then he is ineligible to hold it again for another 5 years.
You should all read the GAA rulebook - its a riveting read!

The deadline for nominations ahead of the upcoming Co. Board Convention was last Friday.
Has anybody heard of any potential changes at the top table?
The next step forward at an infrastructural level needs to be making a start on the redevelopment of Páirc Tailteann and who gets elected at the convention will be key in relation to this.

Its remarkably quiet on the convention front and the PT front, I notice Kildare are pressing ahead with improvements at St. Conleth's which include a new stand, we are long long overdue an upgrade of facilities at PT and the continued absence of floodlights is becoming a major pain.

I wouldn't have any issue with Eamon Barry doing the job. he might not be everyones cup of tea, but it would be no harm to have to someone there who wouldn't be afraid to shake things up a bit.
I also note that Noel Dempsey is nominated for the coaching officer job. Anyone know what experience he has of coaching either at club or county level? Genuine question, not politically motivated!

I dont know what qualifications Noel has in coaching but he does have a background as a teacher and was in charge of the Trim under 15's for the past few years. They recently won divisions 1 and 6 of the under 15 championship after being quite ordinary in previous years. He is also "retired" so he might be a good outside the box choice for a role like this.

He was trying to coach the country for a while-seriously though I would have thought that his administrative skills would be useful in a number of positions and something that is badly needed

Thanks for that info Oldsam. I wasn't aware that he was coaching in Trim. Nice to see him doing something useful with his time.
I seem to be having a lot of trouble allowing my opinion to be expressed on the best person for the chairman's position. I will try again: were I a county board delegate, i would cast my vote in the following order:
1. Eamon Barry
2. Paddy Kelly
3. Peter O'Halloran
4. Conor Tormey
