[johnd]

The 2018 ISKA symposium is only a week away.. See the schedule for more details.

If you have already booked into the 2018 ISKA symposium, thank you. Looking forward to seeing your there.

If you haven't already booked in but you are thinking of doing so, can I ask you to send in your booking form and payment this weekend. You can download the booking form here.

I need a chance to go through the bookings before I go back to work on Monday. After that I will be busy with lots of last minute details.

Regards and looking forward to seeing in Schull,

HI All,
We will have another BUY and SELL Pop-up Shop at the Symposium. This worked very well the ISKA event on Portrane/Lambay. So, dig out all that great gear that you don't use anymore and bring your items along for the sale. You might also go home with something you really need at half the high street shop price. Great bargains to be had!

See you in Schull!
Margaret
