I could be wrong, but from my reading of the 'President's Message' in IWN it seems that our president, Paul Garland, is coming to the end of his tenure.
I have only met Paul a handful of times but I want to say a big "thank you" for the help he has provided. He is one of the drivers behind a new branch and his knowledge is proving to be of great benefit. On a social level, when we met on Lough Ree, he was the first to offer a spin out on his RIB.
Wish you all the best, congrats on the work you've done. However, I suspect we haven't seen the last of you
