Just a few photographs of the latest "Boys V Girls" tournament that we have going on here on the Island.

The latest round involved a frog race which was won for the second week running by our NI Conference Manager Kerry, who saw off stiff competition from James in the semi-final.

Kerry's latest win puts the girls ahead and we look forward to the next crazy event Debbie has lined up for us.

Congratulations also go to our other Kerri, who has taken on the new part-time post of Conference Assistant. She will split her day by continuing with her reception and, her PA duties for Barry in the morning before moving upstairs to work alongside Scott in the afternoon.

As for the work taking place this week...

BARRY (CEO)

Has internal meeting pretty much all day today.
Tomorrow he's talking to Andy Bounds author of "The Snowball Effect" and has a meeting with his coach, Wendy McCullough.
On Wednesday morning he's attending a seminar at InvestNI whilst in the afternoon he's meeting Switch New Media in Belfast.
On Thursday morning he has an Irish lesson with the rest of us and an ST meeting that same afternoon.
Friday and its R&D all day.

SCOTT

Scott returns from Barcelona on Tuesday. Did he mention he was going to Barcelona?

On Wednesday he chairs a meeting of HR conference speakers and facilitators at the offices of Carson McDowell in Belfast:

On Thursday Scott returns to the office for some training on how to pronounce Irish names, with Colm O’Neill. Colm pronounces his name Colm, like column but without the uh and the n. Seems easy enough.

Friday will see Scott working from home before seeing him fly off yet again on Friday evening to see his beloved Hearts play the mighty St Mirren (2ndbottom plays 3rd bottom of the league) in the Scottish League Cup final at the weekend.

Could it be two cups and insolvency in only 12 short months? Living the dream, boys, living the dream...

On Thursday I will be attending the Ireland Excellence Awards at the Clandeboye.
