Cork Worlds Adjudication Team Announcements

Message from Derek Lande:

Hi,

I am delighted to announce that Cork Worlds has appointed the remaining members of its adjudication team. Erin O'Brien, Ivan Ah Sam and Rory Gillis have agreed to join the team as Deputy Chief Adjudicators. We have also decided to appoint Daniel Patrick McCarthy as an Assistant Chief Adjudicator for the team. Brief excerpts from the CV's of the new members of the team follow which I hope make it clear why these individuals will make an excellent contribution to the running of the competition.

I would like to take this opportunity to once again thank all of those who applied, it was a very tough decision to have to take.

Looking forward to seeing many of you in Thailand.

Regards,
Derek Lande
