Ireland Division

Hi All,

I hope everyone is keeping well. Summer is finally here and I hope everyone is out enjoying the bit of good weather we’re getting or enjoying some well deserved time off from this hectic lifestyle we live. I hope everyone that attended our last meeting on the 3rd of April enjoyed the day. It was fun and educational with Dr. Phil Gore giving us an entertaining presentation, followed by a trip to the Leprechaun Museum. Even baby Finn enjoyed meeting everyone after the meeting getting the cuddles from all the gang! We were delighted to finally be able to present some of our members with their certificates who unfortunately due to Covid didn’t get the opportunity to be presented in person.

We have our 3rd meeting of the year on 25th June in the Dunsilly Hotel in Antrim. The Northern Division have been kind enough to invite us up to join them. I understand it is a long way to travel for a meeting but they have a great day planned ahead with an educational session and also a presentation from Omega supplies on ESCO fluids. It will be a great insight into another product and it’s uses to benefit you. It is always good to have a varied knowledge on a range of products!

The Northern Division is also providing an informal dinner for that evening but attendance needs to be confirmed in advance with

our secretary Jenny Tighe. It will be a great experience teaming up with the Northern Division again as we have a lot to learn from each other and it will be beneficial to all

members and students to attend.

On a final note, I hope everyone enjoys their summer and don’t work too hard!
