The CI TDU AGM took place in Graiguenamanagh on Fri last. You may be aware that the TDU has not had a functioning committee for the past almost one year despite our own Tom Ronayne functioning as CI Sea Officer. At the AGM last Friday a new committee was elected from the well attended assembly of instructors present. John Hynes of VEC Kinsale was elected as the Chairman and Tom Ronayne was elected again as the TDU CI Sea Officer. Among the motions passed were two motions of interest to the club- one to carry out a review of the CI Award schemes and report back to the AGM in 2020 with progress -this review is ongoing for the past 5 yrs with no report to the TDU members or the general CI membership. The second was to organise for next year CPD (Continuous Professional Development) training for instructors in the areas of Sea and River kayaking. Hopefully we will see the new TDU make progress on these and other areas.
