Branch faces axe THE NORTH London Branch of Comhaltas
was formed in 1970, and has a long history of success throughout its 37
years as part of the London Region.
It is the only branch in the London Region of Comhaltas which still runs
a Junior Fleadh Cheoil but after 10 years this may not continue.
The branch had its annual general meeting on the October 15 at 8pm at
the London Irish Centre in Camden.
This meeting is important as new officers are elected to keep the branch
running — and most importantly to preserve and promote the activities
built up in its 37 years history.
In order for a branch such as North London to register five officers must
be elected — chairperson, vice-chairperson, secretary, treasurer
and auditor.
Three of the long-term officers of North London Branch of Comhaltas are
standing down and two more have decided they are unable to attend meetings.
It means due to lack of support the North London Branch of Comhaltas may
have to fold if it does not elect the five officers to keep the branch
running.
This is a very worrying matter — and therefore all members and those
traditional music lovers outside of Comhaltas are requested to help and
support in keeping the branch alive.
Officers of the North London branch meet once a month at the London Irish
Centre in Camden.
Meetings could be alternated to a more local or central location every
third month.
