Conferences

IMA-Proposal was rejected.

NUIG-Workshop has been confirmed. It will last 1:45. The theme of the conference is Virtual Learning.

WLM

SE received a confirmation letter in respect to the grant to the Arts Council. A decision should be made by 1 June.

SE has been adding monuments to the list from http://megalithicireland.com/ leaving out the monuments that are obviously on private land. We might think about adding a notice to the website indicating that while we assume that the monuments are all publically accessible it is up to the participant to confirm that when visiting.

A meeting has been arranged between the DAHG and SE and EE to discuss the upcoming competition.

SE has created a schedule/checklist for the competition. It can be found here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1k30sfP8stYLfo2o80e4bGcBSUdoYKPUMjqO_6qld88E/edit#gid=0.

The recruitment of judges was discussed. It was suggested that we contact the previous judges, the DAHG, and photo clubs to ask for recommendations.

RO indicated that she would be keen to organise photowalks in Carlow and LImerick. SE could run one in Dublin.
