The 12th International Trade Competitions for Apprentices in Dublin, 1963, left an enduring imprint on Nicholas memory. From facilitating the arrival and accommodation of international teams at Gormanston College to managing daily logistics at Bolton Street, where the competitions took place, hs role was multifaceted and rewarding. One standout moment was easing the Japanese team's customs clearance with a crucial letter, which earned him honorary status among them. Organizing leisure activities like swimming sessions and sports alongside Mr. M.J. Doogan added a relaxed dimension to the intense competition atmosphere. The event underscored the spirit of collaboration among organizers and participants alike, culminating in a memorable and successful international gathering of apprentices.
