SADSI News
Following the success of the Mid-
summer's Ball and the Cork
Hospitality Weekend to which we owe
a huge thanks to all our sponsors and
supporters, we now enter the last lap
of the 109th session of SADSI, writes
Cora Fitzsimons. The following
events are lined up for the coming
months:
Careers Seminar & Halloween
Disco. Thursday 28 October, 1993:
SADSI will be hosting a Careers
Seminar in the Law Society in
Blackhall Place. We are inviting
speakers from a diverse legal
spectrum, who are in a position to
advise on possible career paths based
on their own experiences. The seminar
will concentrate primarily on
opportunities
within
law. For example,
we will hear from practitioners who
have set up their own firms, people
who have worked abroad (within the
EC) and those who have undertaken
post-graduate course upon
qualification. The forum will be
followed by a Halloween disco - and
• guess what? Pints are only £1!
Gold Medal Debate, Thursday 18
November, 1993:
The SADSI Gold Medal will be
awarded to the best debater on the
night. Depending on the number of
entries, there may be preliminary
selection rounds prior to this date,
i Anyone interested in entering the
competition should contact:
Graham
Hanlon, Sean Barton
or any other
committee member before Friday 5
' November. The wine reception
beforehand is open to all.

their heads should get in touch with

SADSI AGM and Election Night,
j
! Thursday 2 December, 1993:
The AGM, and the results of the
SADSI elections, will be followed by a
drinks reception and disco to ring in

SADSI Constitution
j
;
i
The SADSI Constitution and Sessional
i
Standing Orders as originally drafted,
and last revised in 1964, is scarcely
functional at this stage of SADSI's
existence. Its objects, as currently
perceived, are too narrowly defined
and do not take into account the fact
the SADSI has developed from a
specialised debating society to one
whose role is much wider. Today,
SADSI is also concerned with practical
problems encountered by apprentices
and is the only representative body to
pursue their causes. And in addition to
debating, SADSI is active in other
social spheres. We have therefore set
up a Drafting Committee comprising
the following:
Paula Murphy,
A&L
Goodbody,
Sean Barton,
McCann
FitzGerald,
Cora Fitzsimons,
Lennon
Heather & Co. and
Anne Kelly,
A&L
Goodbody. Anyone who is interested
in making any kind of input should
feel free to contact us at the above
offices.
It is envisaged that the new
constitution will be available for
viewing within the coming months in a
number of counties and the details will
be advertised in the
Gazette.
The
finished product will be presented for
implementation at the AGM in
December.
Cork News
Many thanks to
Annette O'Sullivan,
Kieran McCarthy, Yvonne Buckley
and
Noel O'Herlihy
for the barbecue they
organised recently at the Anglers Rest
Bar at which there was a display of
Olympic Volleyball the likes of which
has never been witnessed there before.
The winners of the "tournament" are
still awaiting their drinks from the
losers (ahem). Keep a close eye on Sky
Sports for further coverage.
Many thanks to all those who came
along to the very successful Southern
Hospitality Weekend we hosted in
Cork recently.
Every monday night Cork apprentices
et al
continue to meet up to play
indoor soccer (which sometimes
resembles Rollerball) at the ESB
Sports Centre.
Pat "Scilacchi"
Gannon
has been a revolution with his
no nonsense tacking and deadly aim
(at both the goal and opponents'
shins!).
