This took place in the Aisling Hotel on March 23 last, with a mere 50 attending, including about 15 from the Dublin Chapter. Not surprisingly last years committee was returned unopposed with Emmet Kane as president and Vice Chairman, Felix McCoy as Chairman, Ambrose O’Halloran as Secretary, Brian McAdoo as Treasurer.
Jim Johnston (Ulster), Francis Morrin (NorthEast) and Joe O'Neill (Dublin) were elected from five candidates to fill the remaining seats.

The amendments to the proposed constitution were carried with some changes from the floor. Most importantly the Guild Council consisting of one representative from each Chapter was accepted . They will meet (normally) twice yearly, chaired by the president, to monitor the goals and programme of the Executive. It is hoped that this innovation will help to keep us all more in touch with Guild affairs.
