The menu for the post-workshop dinner was decided and the representative of The Strand confirmed that B&B would be available in The Strand on the weekend of the workshop at a rate of 35E p.p. (sharing) to cater for people from around the country who may wish to participate in the workshop.

Sean Crudden told the meeting that he had received a commitment from a representative of Louth County Enterprise Board that that board would give some grant assistance to Cooley Environmental and Health Group for organising the workshop. Gratitude for this was expressed at the meeting.

It was decided to seek permission from Eric Hynes to publish the memoir he presented to the winter workshop in January 2004. The title of the memoir is "How Furniture Came to Be Manufactured in Bellurgan."

Handball was discussed.
