Golden Jubilee of Marine Engineering Education in Cork

Friday 10 March 2006

2006 marks 50 unbroken years of Marine Engineering education in Cork. The National Maritime College of Ireland has decided to organise a reunion for all past Marines and friends to mark and celebrate this unique occasion.

The reunion will commence on Friday May 5th with an informal get together at 20:00 in the Rochestown Park Hotel, Douglas, Cork. On Saturday May 6th there will be a guided tour of the NMCI and a ‘Glance at the Past’ exhibition beginning at 11:30 and closing with buffet lunch at 14:30. Later that evening a reunion dinner is organised for the Rochestown Park Hotel commencing at 20:00 and continuing until late (bar is open until 01:30). The cost per person for attendance at both events is €60 per person.

The capacity of Marine Engineers to socialise together has never been in doubt and this occasion will provide a wonderful opportunity to renew friendships! Every effort has been made to contact all alumni individually but with the passing of the years, contact details are undoubtedly not up to date. If you would be interested in attending this event or have any queries, suggestions or comments, please contact Donal Burke. As a high level of interest is expected, tickets will be issued on a “First Come First Served” basis.
