I second that motion.
Thanks Mary and Martina for a great symposium; and to their many helpers, leaders and side-kicks. Learned a lot, drank a lot (so that balances out) had a great time.

Here is a photo of Gavan and Niall (the other one) from Saturday afternoon\'s (co)incident management. Will post some other ones soon.

Especially thank you to Mary and also her crew of little helpers, it was an excellent weekend. With the weather gods somewhat against us, the fact that everything went so smoothly and there were still so many options, is only testament to the hard work and planning that was put into this event.

And while I would have preferred to be wrapped up in my own bed with a cup of hot chocolate, someone had to make sure Niall M got back to his room safely each evening. And the less said about the man with the orange kayak with the IE sticker, the better......

Yes thanks everyone for a fantastic symposium. Mary and Martina ye played a blinder (as we would expect!). Thanks to everyone who ran workshops and sessions on (and in) the water. All the ones that I was at were brilliant and I just wished I could be in two (or more) places at one time. Thanks also to the outgoing and incoming ISKA committees for all their hard work and dedication, it keeps our association going.

See ye all on the water soon,
Rachel.

Great Symposium,
Kayaking, talks, food, wine (of the land) and location were excellent, Mary.
I learned much from Geo and Josie and enjoyed frollicking among the waves with Eila and the ever so cheerful Des.
