When members of the UK Weighing Federation (UKWF) met in Dublin for their recent Annual General Meeting the occasion was certainly the right mixture of business and pleasure. During the meeting Members were updated on technical issues from the Technical Officer including important developments on the ongoing subject of self verification. The formal aspects of the meeting also featured an informative and humorous insight into the organization of legal metrology in Ireland presented by Joe Kane from the Irish Weights and Measures. This was followed by a presentation from Kerry Jones from SPA who talked about Safety Passports explaining how they originated, why they are necessary and how they are issued.
Following the meeting, Members went on a tour of the Guinness Storehouses where they saw how Guinness is brewed, learned about the history of this famous beverage and, of course, sampled it for themselves. Derek Christie, President of the UKWF, was very pleased with how the two days went and as he concludes: " We decided to do something different for this year's meeting and it proved to be a great success with all the members who attended. The proceedings were rounded off at a local night spot where we were entertained to a lively party night including typical Irish food and music. |
