The 11th Annual Golf Classic took place in Carton House and Golf Club on the 28th of September 2006. Starting with breakfast the golfers took to the golf course complete with goody bags kindly sponsored by Dublin Airport Authority. 

Playing the challenging O’Meara course, the players were delighted with the glorious weather conditions. This year’s classic was sponsored by Paddy Kavanagh of Eirebus/Urbus. 

Chamber staff followed the action and we are including some of the moments captured on the day. 

Chamber President, Hugh O’Byrne presented team winners with sets of Galway Crystal at the prize winning dinner and thanked the staff of Carton Golf Club for their assistance to the Chamber in the organisation of the event. Hugh thanked all team members for their participation and the staff of Carton House and Golf Club for their assistance in organising another successful classic.

The Chamber has completed quiz nights for 8 of the participating companies with the remaining companies running in January. We have had a terrific response from the employees of the companies and all have enjoyed the competition to date. Our thanks to the Chamber events committee for their assistance in running each quiz night and in particular Jim Breen, M.C. for the event.

This event took place on October 4th at Dunboyne Castle Hotel and Spa. The Chamber co hosted the event with South Dublin Chamber and both Chambers were delighted with the attendance of 72 people representing 61 companies from both Chambers.
This was the first of the shared services agreement with South Dublin Chamber and more co hosted events are planned for next year.

Each participant had a minimum of 21 introductions with 2.5 minutes to give information about their company and another 2.5 minutes to receive information from the person sitting opposite. Our thanks to the M.C. for the event, Pat Walsh of Sky Business Centres for keeping everyone moving and talking!

The Chamber would also like to thank Andrew Keogh of Aristo – Connect to Grow for a very unique presentation on networking, delivering your message and pro active follow up from and introduction.

Again our thanks to David Donnelly, Branch Manager, Bank of Ireland, Blanchardstown for sponsorship of the event. 

The next speed networking event will be held with Dundalk Chamber in March.
