Branch Officers were grist to his mill and even his wife wasn't spared. Development Officer, Terry McNamee, presented a full report on a busy and successful year and identified areas for future development. True to form, Treasurer, Damian McKenna, convinced all that a surplus was really a deficit but his diligence in managing the financial affairs is recognised and greatly appreciated.
