Future Orchard Trust. Back to the Garden Elaine Garde-Wulff explains the Future Orchard Concept Orchards are very special gardens, for most they are perceived as places not just of sanctity and tranquillity but of great abundance. Perhaps reverence for the Apple tree might be a good example of the human connection to nature, at its best. It was most likely this positive view which lead to the overwhelming support of a proposal to create a collectively owned Orchard in Cork. With a working title of ‘Future Orchard” the project started in 2009 with a personal commitment to see it through, whatever the challenges. A little hectare of land with as many as 100 shareholders, Future orchard was set up as a small scale ecological enterprise, using a model that rejects the need for loans, capital investment or any dependency on grants.
Please explain? So what happens next? So its an investment model? Are there dividends? So do the members have to work on the land? So how does the personal involvement work? Future Orchard Trust. HackerspaceWiki. Frequently Asked Questions about Tog. What is TOG?
TOG is a group of individuals who have come together to form an inclusive community interested in the pursuit of innovation in science, technology, modern culture, and creative arts. What is a Hackerspace? A Hackerspace is a physical space where people come together to pursue shared interests. TOG is a Hackerspace in Dublin and a number of other Hackerspace groups are forming throughout Ireland. Where is the space? Our current space is in Warehouse Unit C, Chancery Lane, Dublin 8, Ireland. Why? Dublin has a very centralised public transport system and because most members use public transport we decided that the space should be within walking distance of O’Connell Street Bridge. What do you need a space for? The space provides shared physical resources that are in general beyond the reach of an individual, but it also provides the opportunity to work together and avenues for inspiration and collaboration.
I can do all I want in my attic/garage/shed? What if I don’t live in Dublin? Constitution. Administration. The GAA’s values are the heart and soul of our Association.

Club Constitution. The Club Constitution is the single most important document in the club and every club must adopt this in accordance with rule 3.5 of the GAA’s Official Guide (Treoraí Oifigiúil).
The club constitution provides a means whereby the GAA Club can be operated and managed by the Executive Committee of the club. The Constitution provides for control of the assets of the Club and the operation of activities within the Club regarding, membership, management structure, sub-committee structure, club property, AGM etc. A club can make certain alterations to the constitution, but these must be passed by the County Committee.
