We have had some enquiries from Irish organisations about publicising their events. If you have an event coming up, please email the info to us by the 21st of the month and we will do our best to include it in our events diary and newsletter. It helps if you can provide the text ready to go and remember – a picture tells 1000 words so send a good one!
