Hi guys, I'd like to thank everyone that attended our Meeting in the Southern Hotel in Sligo last weekend. It was a very successful Meeting, and we got through a lot of business. Things that we covered included: 1. A general news letter. It was agreed that our association would produce a newsletter every six months. This would generally keep everyone up to date with what has been going on. We would encourage all members to make a contribution at some stage. 2. At our previous weekend in Tullamore, Minister for disability John Moloney agreed to meet us early next year, to discuss any issues we would like followed up. We will be writing to all members shortly, asking them to submit their issues by the end of January. We will then meet the minister, in Tullamore and present him with them. 3. An open day for next year was proposed. This would consist of a number of companies coming in to chat to us about the latest products available, and also service providers bringing us up to date on what services are available for our members. Any feedback on the above would be good. Of course, there was the usual craic and banter in Sligo. I would like to thank the Gilhooley family for their hospitality and making us feel very welcome in Sligo. They chose a beautiful Italian restaurant called Bella Vista, for us for a meal on Saturday night. I will definitely be back, as the grub was top notch. We then moved onto the Clarion Hotel for more craic and supped pints til the wee small hours. Our newest committee member Mr John Sugru, matched me pint for pint, and was even ahead at one stage I heard. Well done John, Hope the head was in one piece next day. Mr J Gilhooley provided us with a taxi service, and drove us around all night long. Well done sir, thanks for everything. That's about it for now guys, chat to you all soon. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to mail into the list, or contact us via our website at www.arthrogryposis.ie P.s. watch out for some new changes to our website very soon. Brian Dalton.
