County Reorganisation

This summer the County has been completely reorganised by doing away with the 6 Divisions and reforming the 13 old Districts into 8 larger Districts. Information on the new Districts can be had on the 'Districts' page.

The County has a new County Commissioner (Elaine Kelly) and Asst County Commissioner (Stella McIver). Several new District Commissioners have been appointed and the County Team is currently being formed. The changes came into effect on 1st July 2008.

Streamline and GO

The County is actively working towards the implementation of 'Streamline' and the new 'GO' system which should come online during Spring 2009. Training and help for the new system will be available from the Membership Support Coordinator and her team of Keyusers (buddies).
