Thanks and hope to see y'all next year.

Please send any of your photos that you would like to share.

Pre-conference get-together

As previously announced, a pre-conference get-together will take place at the Sports Bar (No. 23 on the campus map) just beside the running track on Wednesday evening May 27th at 7.30 pm.
Tea, coffee, and sandwiches will be free, but you will have to pay for any other drinks.

Do come along if you are here on Wednesday. If staying at Cappavilla (campus accommodation) it will be a nice walk in the evening there and back - it won't be dark until at least 10.00 pm. The Sports Bar is also quite close to the Kilmurry Hotel and not too far from the Carlton Castletroy Park Hotel.

Weather

Those of you packing for a short trip may like to know that following a long period of rain, we are at last looking forward to a few fine days at the end of this week. But don't take my word for it. Check out http://www.met.ie/ Anyone coming for a longer trip: just come prepared!
