Each year a group children from Chernobyl visit Castleknock and this year for the first time St Brigids had the honour of hosting them for an evening of fun and games at the Nursery in Beechpark Avenue. Organised by Seamus and Teresa Branagan and a large group of eager volunteers this was a great evening and an opportunity for the club to help out in some small way these children whose homeland was devastated when the nuclear reactor went into meltdown on April 25th 1986. The effects of that incident are still being felt today and many children from the region will develop cancer and other serious illness as they get older The evening in Beechpark included games of every sort, lots of food and minerals for the children and a presentation of Medals, club teeshirts and model cars (kindly provided by DG Opel). At the end the children presented the organisers with bouquets of flowers and vowed to return again next year.
