of the Irish 'Go' Association,

Ireland-China Overtures: Behind the Scenes
ICCS Delegation in China
An illustrated talk by the ICCS China Travellers
In May 2002, a delegation of six ICCS members visited China on a trip hosted by
'Youxie', the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries.
For our November meeting, DaWen Sun, Jane Almqvist, David Judge, Nora McDowell, Denis Mullen and
Jenny Slevin-Williams will talk about their experiences on this memorable, out-of-the-ordinary visit.
(The ICCS is actively considering the suggestion of acting
as facilitator for future self-paying trips to be hosted in China by 'Youxie'.
Anyone even vaguely interested in the possibility of going on such a tour should find this talk of
particular interest.)
