    A few or you are aware that I am involved with Chernobyl

    The group of 39 kids arrived last night, If any of you have any contacts for making the kids stay in Dublin for the next 3 weeks more enjoyable, entry tickets to anywhere, any suggestions, or donations, I would like to hear from you, thanks

    p.s. old liverpool Jerseys get put to good use too If you can bear to part with them. Old game boys, nintendo ect ect hand held games mp3 players, maybe you have something sitting in a box at the top of the wardrobe or under the bed.

    send me a pm or e mail thanks
    Pam

    i know you weren't impressed with the Dublin Match last Sunday but why don't you take the Kids along to the Leinster Final on the 15th?i'd say they'd have a great time.
    so long as they're under 16 you can bring a group of 10 Kids for 3 Euro each and the accompanying Adult is free.
    if you were to bring all 40 with 4 Adults it would only cost 120 Euro for all of you to get in.it would cost that anyway for 4 Adults to go to the Game so basically your getting all the Kids in for free.
    you have to apply through the Leinster Council.it says on their website (www.leinstergaa.ie) that the attached form must be completed and returned to the Leinster Council Office, Portlaoise, Co. Laois. with
    a cheque or postal order by the Friday Week prior to the said game.that would be next Friday (the 6th) so you've plenty of time to organise it.
    i'd say if you rang them on Monday (0578682000) and explained the situation they'd probably let you order them over the Phone there and then,wouldn't be surprised at all if you got them for free.

    best of luck to you and all the other Families over the next 3 Weeks

    Thanks for the Liverpool Jersey's lads there's a little town nr chernobyl called knoiniki - where lots of the lads are now wearing Liverpool Jerseys with great pride they were thrilled to get them and dont mind last seasons or any season come to that, they were just delighted to get them - so keep me in mind for the old Jersey's lads and girls. Thanks again
