2 December 2013/January 2014 * www.esb.ie/em NEWS Draw results MADSOC DRAW AUGUST 2013 BERNIE HEALY Editor's desk Hello and welcome to the Christmas edition of EM . As you will see from this issue we have had a very busy period in the last few weeks with a lot of developments in various parts of the business. Two important things to note in this issue - there is a special appeal from ElectricAid for the Philippines. You will all be acutely aware of the utter devastation that has taken place there and while it is a very tough time for many families in Ireland at Christmas we would appeal to you to make a special effort in this case. The scale of the damage and the high number of fatalities as a result is truly beyond comprehension. Secondly, this Christmas edition will be posted out to all our VS and retired staff and we would again remind you to advise us of your email details if you wish to receive digitally the other five issues of EM throughout the year. We would like to take the opportunity to thank you all for your submissions and support throughout the year and to wish all our readers a very happy and safe Christmas and good wishes for the New Year.

WE, THE ESB GAA officers and organising committee of Paul Stapleton, Colum Grogan, John O'Riordan, Hugh Connaughton, Patricia McAleavey, Shauna Brady, Deirdre Arthur, Eddie Nally, Tony Heavin and Pat Maleady would like to sincerely thank all the personnel that made our 2007 events so enjoyable and successful. Thanks also to Athlone GAA Club, the Athlone Order of Malta, the referees, the Shamrock Lodge Hotel and local staff, in particular Tony Heavin, for the pitch preparation and use of facilities; to ESB for the subvention grant, without which these events could not take place. Sincere thanks to EM for publishing our events, reports and photographs. It is impossible to mention everyone but again thank you all and we look forward to seeing you with, hopefully new teams and helpers, again next year. Happy Christmas and good wishes for the New Year. Colum Grogan - Chairman/ Secretary ESB GAA MEMBERS - BRING A FRIEND FREE TO THE POOL AND LEISURE SUITE EVERY WEEKEND IN DECEMBER! Terms & Conditions Members without prepaid option giving access to pool and leisure must pay relevant admission fee. Friend must be a non-member, one friend per visit Leisure suite available 9am to 10pm, swim times available per pool timetable SPORTSCO's record year 2013 WAS A RECORD year for awards for SPORTSCO in Leisure and Quality. Awards received in 2013 include: White Flag Excellence Award - Gold Standard * This is the only specific industry award for the Irish Leisure and Spa industry. The White Flag is based on three essential areas including safety, hygiene and maintenance and customer care. SPORTSCO received the highest accolade of Gold Standard. * Awards were also received in the area of disability awareness and training ethos. National Finalist in the EIQA Q-Mark Award * SPORTSCO, once again, was the only Leisure Centre to reach the level 2 stage in the Q-Mark Quality management standards. National Winner of the JCI Friendliest Business Award * SPORTSCO received the 'National Friendliest Business Award' in the disability category from 'Junior Chamber International' in the Mansion House on October 4th. Lorna Brady, General Manager stated: "Staff are constantly encouraged to 'go the extra mile' in friendliness and professionalism and these awards are a testament to all staff. We believe these factors differentiate us from competitors in the current value-driven economy. Achieving these awards is fantastic recognition of our continuous efforts and will provide us with an excellent motivational tool for all staff. "A recent member satisfaction survey demonstrates a high level of satisfaction with facilities and service. More importantly, 100% of members stated they would recommend us to a friend. SPORTSCO has also applied the 'Net Promoter Score' to customer service and hope all members and guests will actively recommend SPORTSCO to others." n Thank you to all the teams that participated in Derry and to the ESB team players and management, our Chief Executive Pat O'Doherty and all who took part in the Energy Cup match with Bord Gais in Athlone.
