Updated 29th September: Thanks to everyone who turned up yesterday for what was a very important AGM for MAG Ireland as an organisation. We’ve quite a few changes to report, and there will be a follow up post later this week.
MAG Ireland would like to extend our thanks to the team at Waterford Harley Davidson for facilitating this event. |
The Annual General Meeting of MAG Ireland (the Irish Motorcyclists’ Action Group) will take place on Saturday 28th September 2013 on the premises of Waterford Harley Davidson, Ozier Park, Poleberry, Waterford.
MAG Ireland has made significant progress over the past twelve months as the organisation adapts to better respond to the challenges we face today. As part of that transition we are seeking to extend the capability of the organisation and we are actively looking for volunteers with specific professional skills to lend their expertise to MAG Ireland for the benefit of all Irish riders (see below). MAG Ireland is your organisation – Be part of it!
We have vacancies!
We’re still looking for expertise, so if you have degree level or equivalent qualifications or experience in civil/road engineering, mechanical engineering, road safety, town planning/urban planning, software/web development or law we’d love to hear from you. We urgently need skilled volunteers with a couple of hours a week to spare. Come and talk to us on Saturday 28th in Waterford, or get in touch with office@magireland.org today.
