Hi all,

Just to remind you that the first Training meeting for beginners studying for the ‘Preliminary Examination’ will be held at the Convent of Mercy, Ardee at 7.30pm on Wednesday the 1^st of Feburary.

There are two people giving this course; Sr. Catherine Duffy and Eoghan Mc Giolla Coda.

There were 42 people who expressed an interest to do the training course and there was also an extra 20 new people who turned up at the public information night. I do not know how many will turn up next Wednesday but it would seem that we will have at least forty new people. Consequently we will hold two classes; one in Ardee and one in Dunleer. The decision which class you will attend will be decided on the night.

Finally not everyone has an email address so please pass on the above information to your new beekeeping friends.

Good luck,

Tom Shaw

Secretary of the Louth Beekeepers Association.
