Hello All

Many list members will have heard of and probably met Dan Deasy, especially
at Gormanston where he contributes greatly each year, especially on the
examination panel. Dan together with his wife Kathleen, is one of our best
known and respected beekeepers, both having been at beekeeping all their
lives. Dan has now reached 90 years, and we are throwing a little bit of a
party for him (Irish style!) at the Tara Tower Hotel, Merrion Road, Dublin
4, on 21st April at 1.00pm. If anybody would like to attend please send a
cheque for £15.50 per person to

                Mr Joe Kelly
                Treasurer
                County Dublin Beekeepers Association
                46 Wynberg Park
                Blackrock
                Co Dublin

We are looking forward to a very good attendance.

I know that Dan would love to receive messages from his beekeeping friends
from all over the world on that day, and I would invite one and all to send
a message to Dan.

I have arranged with the hotel as follows: If you send an e mail to
[log in to unmask] and mention the Beekeepers lunch on 21st
April at 1.00pm, it will be read out during the lunch.

A fax to + 353 1 269 1027 for the attention of Brigid Mullaney mentioning
the Beekeepers lunch will also reach Dan.

Sincerely

Tom Barrett
