Hi Tim,
Paul Barnes here the guy you met at The Exchange Dublin. I was glad to have had the opportunity to meet up with your group and hear something of how their visit to Ireland affected them and you. I’ve just got to your site so I look forward to checking it out as time allows. I will contact you by email with more to say.
We here at Exchange would greatly appreciate something from you on behalf of the group as to how you benefited from the use of the venue.
Great to meet you all
Best regards Paul
