I would just like to echo the positive sentiments of the NEMETODE workshop held at Dunsink Observatory Dublin. Not only was the workshop itself excellent and very informative but it was also great to meet-up with friends, colleagues and like minded people, especially those folks and speakers that travelled from various parts of the UK.
We are truly lucky to have Michael amongst us in the astronomy community to organise and get things done in a professional and timely manner, not only is he of great service to the BAA but also to the wider astronomy community. I would also like to thank Dunsink Observatory and its staff for not only hosting the event but also taking a proactive approach in ensuring things went as smoothly as they did.
Janice made very important points on our shared rich astronomical history and heritage, working in friendly collaboration and establishing new friendships. Events such as this are a wonderful way in ensuring we continue these traditions.
