Great to host another Lucan B2B this morning at Lucan Spa Hotel! It's always a pleasure chatting to all members and guests and hearing how everyone is so busy, and yet invest the time into our networking group here in South Dublin Chamber.

A big thanks to Eilis Quinlan from Quinlan & Co Accountants for presenting the Educational Slot, and a special thanks and congrats to Mike Grogan from Verity Financial Consultants on his excellent 10 minute presentation on the world of pensions.

Finally, a big congrats to Lynda Emmett- Your gift to you on the launch of her podcast "Happiness is an Inside Job" earlier this week. Lynda worked with fellow Lucan B2B member Erica-Leigh Lawless from Candid Creative on producing the podcast. You can listen via the following links:

Okay, okay..... it doesn't have the same ring to it! 😅 Fantastic to see everyone for our last meeting of 2021! Well done to everyone who got into the festive spirit! Thanks to Cliodhna from South Dublin Chamber for her presentation and letting us know the benefits and support available from South Dublin Chamber. And as always, well done to Eilis for her educational slot presentation 🙌

A special thanks to all the members and guests we've had throughout the year. Everyone should take the time out to give themselves a big clap for getting through another year (especially the **** year this one has been) and making your business a success 🥳🤩

A special thanks to Feargal, Eilis, Cliodhna and Ulick for their hard work and efforts throughout the year in running the Lucan B2B! We celebrated 10 years of the group this year, and I don’t think we’ve had a better group of people! So that’s a credit to the hard work put in by everyone involved 👏

Enjoy your Christmas and we’ll see you all in 2022 🎅✨

"I can't do Bootcamps because I've a dodgy knee/ ankle/ back and can't risk jumping around"

Then m'dear, BURN is a good class for you. Great for your muscles but kind to your joints.

If you can sit on the loo without pains in the knees, you're golden. There's no cardio in this class and it can be done at your own pace - you choose your weight and speed so you don't have to worry about keeping up with everyone else.

We've loads of spaces for class this evening. If you're at a loose end and would like to try it out on a PAYG, just head on over to https://nofilter.ie/bookings
