This year’s meeting will be held in the Gresham Hotel, O Connell St., Dublin on Saturday, 9 May at 10.00 am – Registration is from 9.30 am. We have reserved the O’Connell and the Trinity Suites for our meeting. The area is spacious with easy access to bathroom facilities etc. The hotel has a car park and the delegate rate for the day is €5.00 Access to the carpark is a little complicated and involves a bit of walking, so some may prefer to be dropped off at the door. When the programme is sent an outline of how to gain access to the carpark will be included.
In an effort to encourage regular meetings between our members, you may recall we organised meetings in Cork and Mullingar last year. We are holding a meeting in the Red Cow Moran Hotel on Wednesday 15 April at 7.30 pm and all are welcome to attend. The Hibernian Suite has been reserved, which is at the back of the hotel in the Business Centre. Parking facilities adjacent to the Business Centre are good. To provide an idea of numbers we would appreciate those hoping to attend to contact us on 01 854 5172 or 087 637 6563.
World PH Day will be held this year on Tuesday 5 May. Patient groups around the world are organising events to mark this date. Riverdance will launch their Dublin show in May and have agreed to do the launch on 5 May while wearing our Get Breathless for PH T-shirts. The venue has not been decided yet, but I will inform you when I send the programme for the above meeting
As always I would value your comments on how we can encourage more communication between our members and how I can help you to achieve this.
