Irish Branch Volunteers
We need new hands! A hands-on person - or people - to continue the work of the branch. What are the requirements? The enthusiasm and ability to lead a small team of volunteers, to work together to arrange meetings, to give talks to beginners and to inspire the continuing work of the branch. Time, enthusiasm and a computer are probably the three main practical requirements.
