FROM THE PRESIDENT'S OFFICE

摘要

I really can't understand why I have never made the short trip over to Northern Ireland before! A mere 45 minute flight from Newcastle airport and there we were in Belfast. It was actually quite bleak and raining when we stepped off the plane but the weather markedly improved during the day and we never had any further rain during our stay. Some Irish people may well consider that lucky as one said to me that it rains there quite often; in fact, he said and I quote 'It actually rained twice here last week, once for three days and once for four days!'
