• Thursday 11th of March – Brian Dobson .... Warning : This talk has absloutely NOTHING to do with Sailing!

Bryan Dobson of RTE fame is coming to talk to us on a topic that is very familiar to him 'Working in Television News'.

A familiar face on our screens and on the radio, he has been a news anchor for 14 years.

‘Dobbo’ as he is known, is in fact a local fella having gone to Newpark School.

We look forward to welcoming him back and to hear about life behind the camera.
