Not quite... close... 1983 or 1984 I think was the last time.

Saw a few of the above crowd at the big UCC dinner 2 years ago but I
got lucky and none of them showed at this year's (10000th - binary)
dinner, so I won the "oldest club member" bottle of red. :-)

I've been running my own tech (mainly IT) conslutancy since 1999
when my previous employer went into liquidation while I was in
Europe, 2 weeks into a 10-week holiday.
