The big news from last week, which just missed the Legal-Island Monday blog, but made the local and national papers was the launch of the Legal-Island Balloon at Northern Ireland's first Hot Air Balloon Festival in Moira.


Thanks to Barry and his needle and thread there were no fatalities.  It's remarkable the trust some people put in our CEO!  I notice Barry himself stayed steadfastly on terra firma...

This week at the Island: we are underway with our 1st, Season 2, event - Certified Mediation which runs over 6 or 8 days.  Our intrepid CEO is playing the role of delegate and will emerge at the end of the course with even more qualifications to his name.  Kerry too will become our 3rd certified mediator at Legal-Island following the course - we're the people to talk to if you want to know about Mediation!

Before Barry gets stuck into Mediation on Wed, Thur & Fri he's meeting Heather Bell from Queen's University and Raymond McFeeters from the NAHT - something is brewing for sure.  Tomorrow he's meeting former InvestNI client executive Alison Flynn for lunch.

Scott will be attending the open space event at Penna's premises on Wednesday, designed to create options for the NI HR Conference 2012.  After that he will meet with the education consultant John Stevenson.  He's off to the motherland on Friday as he's escorting his eldest daughter back to university in Scotland.

Jayne and Ainsley will be early to bed on Tuesday as they are on the 1st flight out of Belfast to attend a seminar in London.  We're expecting great ideas to flow from this event with Peter Thompson - the self styled 'UK's most prolific information product creator'.  Jayne is back, bright-eyed, on Thursday for a meeting with Centre for Competitiveness regarding a Customer Service Award.  On Friday it's benchmarking with BITC.

I'll sign off with wise words from my choice of Monday morning tune - "what you give is what you get returned".  The only description of karma that makes any sense to me.
