Me too - would love to be there - but totally bogged down in getting Dublin
Community Television on air on June 1st!
I had hoped at an earlier point to make it there and thanks to those who
tried to arrange it. It is a shame also that we could not organise it for
CRIS people to meet ... but alas ... the best laid plans.
Have a great time everyone and I look forward to hearing afterwards
