81st ANNUAL CONFERENCE 2023

The 81st Annual Conference of the Retired Teachers' Association Northern Ireland took place at 11.00am on Wednesday, 11 October 2023 in the Glenavon House Hotel, Cookstown.
As usual, we had a very brief Annual General Meeting at which Mary Sands was elected as Chair and Liz Dempsey was elected as Vice-Chair.
We introduced our guest speaker, poet and author, Maureen Boyle who entertained us with some of her lovely poetry intertwined with snippets from her life-experiences. Andrea Begley, winner of The Voice UK and well-known singer, entertained us with several songs from her extensive repertoire, accompanied by retired Principal, Damien Cullen on the electric piano, as well as snippets from her life-experiences.
The Vice-President of UTU, Lynelle Fenton and the Chair of the Northern Committee INTO, Caoimhin MacColaim also updated us on current developments within the profession.
Many of the guests present had the photo-opportunity to appear in the November edition of the Ulster Tatler.
The event finished shortly before 4.00pm
