Looking back, looking forward
Mid -West apprentice class of '69
40 Years on and the mid-west electrical apprentice class of 1969 recently held a reunion in the hodson bay hotel in Athlone. Staff who are still with ESB were joined by their former class colleagues who have since left to further their careers in the outside world! Some had not met for more than 35 years and a great night of reminiscing and story telling about those early years on block release was enjoyed. Stories of staying in various digs and flats were regaled and former workmates who have long since departed were remembered.
Both Networks Ltd and Power Generation were represented and people travelled from Limerick, Clare, Tipperary, Galway, Mayo and Carlow to join their former colleagues on the night. Attendees and guests enjoyed a wonderful night and it was great to see everyone in good health. Tentative plans were made to hold a 50th reunion in 2019!
A perfect example of Partnership working outside ESB in the wider community.
