Successful Online Workshop Held For Club PROs

An online workshop took place this week on Microsoft Teams with club and school PROs from across Munster in attendance.

The workshop, which was organised by Rugby Committee Chairperson Patrick Durkan and Rugby Committee Honorary Secretary Barry Dempsey, aimed to engage with PROs and provide guidance in their roles.

The hour long workshop was hosted by Limerick Leader Managing Editor Donn O’Sullivan and also included contributions from Irish Examiner Sports Editor Tony Leen, Sports Journalist Murray Kinsella of the The42 and writer and broadcaster Billy Keane.

Discussions centered around the modern role of the club PRO, how it has evolved over time and how those volunteers can engage with sports media to get their message out to a wider audience.

For any PRO who was unable to attend, please contact barrydempsey@munsterrugby.ie for a recording.

The Munster Rugby Communications Department will be hosting a workshop next month which will focus on best practice in areas of social media, photography and the use of video.

Details of this workshop will be communicated in due course.
