The Durrow Accord

From Irish RPG and Gaming Wiki

The Durrow Accord is an event to allow open communication between Irish gamers to discuss the future of the Irish gaming community organised by James Maher.

The The Durrow Accord is so called because that is where it first took place, Durrow in Cork. The name was originally dropped into conversation on the igaming Mailing List around the same time as negotiations between the British Government, the Irish Government, Loyalist and Republican political groups in Northern Ireland approached a possible agreement that became known as the Belfast Accord. Ironically this political agreement subsequently collapsed.

Durrow 1

The first Durrow Accord was born out of heated debate on the igaming Mailing List. It took place in Feb 2005.

There is a report of what happened in WhiteElephant and rough minutes were sent to the igaming mailing list.

Several breakout groups were formed to tackle the issues raised. Some of them have private forums on IrishGaming.com Forums.

Durrow 2

The second Durrow Accord was planned to go ahead this July 2005. Unfortantly there was a lack of confirmed attendees so it was cancelled. No plans exist currently for a second date. Please refer to IrishGaming.com Forums and igaming Mailing List for more information.
