[Corkradioclub] Marconi Day on Saturday, 20 April

[Cormac Gebruers]

Tim,

Thanks for being proactive! I was planning on coming down on Sunday as I
thought the event was running on both the Saturday and Sunday.
Unfortunately I'm stuck in Cork on Friday and Saturday as we're hosting two
major events at work that week including the European Space Agency annual
conference which is one of the official events of the Irish EU Comission
Presidency; it's going to be a crazy few days :-(

I won't be able to leave Cork until Sunday morning; how is Sunday likely to
play out based on pervious years? If I was to leave Cork at, say 7am, will
it be worth the trip?
