AGM REPORT

Niadia held their agm this year on the 25^th February 2008 at the Royal Hotel in Cookstown.

The format this year comprised of a half-day conference and the Agm.

We are glad to report that there was over seventy ADIs attended the conference.

The conference started at 2pm with a workshop held by the DVA. Brian Morrison went through the do's and don't s on the check test and how to get that grade 6. A copy of his presentation is available on this website.

Anne McCabe, the new registrar, along with Deirdre Walsh also attended.

Representatives of the DOE Road Safety Division agreed to come along and hold an open discussion about how to stop the carnage on our roads and the DVA, and PSNI took part in this.

Both these workshops were informative and constructive to all those who were present. It is fair to say that there were many positive ideas to build on, take forward, and develop with the relevant government bodies.

Several past members were recognised by NIADIA for all the hard work they had done over the years. These included Norman Savage, Pat Deehan, Eric Dale, and Terry Pearson. We thank them once again for the time and effort they put into the association over the years. You can read about Pat and his years as an adi on this website.

Altogether, it was deemed a very successful AGM and we hope that the format will continue for the next AGM.
