MAG Ireland would like to extend our thanks to the team at Waterford Harley Davidson for facilitating this event.

MAG Ireland AGM 2013

 

MAG Ireland has made significant progress over the past twelve months as the organisation adapts to better respond to the challenges we face today. As part of that transition we are seeking to extend the capability of the organisation and we are actively looking for volunteers with specific professional skills to lend their expertise to MAG Ireland for the benefit of all Irish riders (see below). MAG Ireland is your organisation – Be part of it!
