Hey guys it's been quite a while since I've been able to give you any news. With exams, assignments and Christmas taking their toll, I've struggled to get to where I had intended to be in the run-in to the new year. Most of my projects have been met with substantial resistance. However I am making progress with two ideas and will hopefully see them succeed in the coming weeks.

The first of these events will be a table quiz and raffle. This will be held in my home town of Portlaoise where I hope the response will be enthusiastic and generous.

The second event will be a tag rugby tournament in UCD. The aim will be to secure sponsors for prizes from the surrounding area and include as many teams as possible for a day of fun, enjoyable rugby.

I will keep you updated as to how things are developing with these events over the next few weeks. It's not just about making a difference, it's about making an impact.
