1 0 5 T H IRISH CE U N ION CON V EN T IO N Convention Secretary reports on this years event How many of you know where Buckna is? It is near Slemish which my long-ago geography lessons told me is a volcanic plug. Buckna was also the venue for the 105th Irish CE Convention committee meetings.
As Ballymena / Coleraine no longer has a Local Union Executive, I chaired these meetings, and the committee consisted of Ken, Jean, Julie and me. However, the Convention was organised with the minimum of fuss, and the committee worked very well together. Julie supplies a delicious range of biscuits for the inevitable cup of tea! Being “on the ground”, Ken, Jean and Julie attended to all those myriad of small details which ensure that everything runs smoothly on the day, and I am so grateful for their total dependability.
This half day Convention proved to be a relaxed time of fellowship and teaching and we came away feeling: “It was good for us to have been here, for here we met with the Lord.” Convention Chairperson Rosemary McDaniel
