Unless you have missed the hoards of pancakes in all the shops you wont be aware that tomorrow is Pancake Tuesday - in case you don’t know Pancake Tuesday came about as women used to clear all the food out of their cupboards and make pancakes before Lent began . Here at Legal Island we are using everything we have got in our training larder to fill people up on high quality events in NI and ROI.



So other than eat pancakes this week, here is what else is happening...

Our CEO, Barry, has a busy week networking and fine dining this week (must be fancy pancakes).

He's in internal meetings pretty much all day. Tomorrow he's meeting one of our IT consultants for lunch. Tuesday evening and he's starting his wine quaffing course. We're worried for he is not known for being able to hold his drink. Wednesday and he's off for an In-Camera Dinner with the Justice Minister. Thursday it's a dinner at the Northern Ireland Assembly Association. On Friday he's meeting his old mucker from O'Reilly Stewart, Linus Murray before going into a meeting about the education conference which is coming up shortly.

On Wednesday, Heather has an Innovation team meeting & on Wednesday she is going to Ballycraigy Primary to see their new chicken coop that we donated money to pay for.

Thursday – back to Ballycraigy Primary in the afternoon to start the hockey (burn off all the pancakes).

Kerry is hosting two events in the training centre this week - Professional Workplace Investigations on Tuesday and Redundancy Selection on Wednesday.

Jayne has a meeting with invest NI on Tuesday morning. On Thursday and Friday she will be in Londonderry/ Derry for the C03 Leadership Conference at Derry City Hotel.

Scott has a meeting with Kirsty McManus of the CBI on Wednesday and is on annual leave on Friday. Scott hope to work from home on Tuesday.

In the Training Centre this week we are welcoming the Public Health Agency and Schrader.

Busy week as always

Just in case you are wondering, my favourite pancakes are R.J. Kerr's toasted with real butter... nothing fancy but real tasty!
