TAI awakes after a long sleep

Well folks, you probably got fed up coming back to this blog, and finding nothing changed - I do apologize - let's say sometimes it can take 'old ladies' a long time to get going, especially if the 'sleep' is warm and comfortable.
But thanks to an energetic chap called John who made contact nearly two years ago, let us say "things are happening"

But it wasn't only John (who is interested in TA in education) that got in touch, there were other people too, including Jason, a therapist, and Carol, who is interested in TA in organizations.
From TAI I was joined by Hazel, my sister and together the five of us had good discussions about what might be done to raise the profile of TA in Ireland.

We have met three times in 2018, most recently today (December 16) Our most recent decision has been to identify how our interests are similar (all of us want to see more TA in Ireland) and how they differ (some are thinking about training and dissemination, others about practical day-to day application.)

So for the year ahead, we plan to pursue these ideas separately - we are in experimental mode, and no, we don't have a HurryUp driving us over any cliff.
Sometime in the autumn, we plan to have an AGM for TAI at which we will make whatever decisions we find are appropriate at that time.

Meantime, Hazel and I plan to re-start the former custom of getting together periodically to 'Talk TA'.
No details have been finalized yet,other than 'sometime in the New Year'. But if you would like to be part of such a gathering, you can make contact at tainireland@gmail.com.
