Just in case people weren't aware, the Olympic flame arrives in Ireland next Wed. It will be driven from NI to Howth, where the Olympic Council of Ireland will take it over. It then moves to Dublin city.

Should be a great event for Ireland.

yeah - that's what's going to be happening in Lusk very soon. A fun and family run of sorts is being held to raise funds to try and make sure Lusk is not used as a toilet pipe for areas throughout Leinster.

There is a 2km, 4km and maybe 8km run, walk, jog , whatever ya like. I'll be there pushing a buggy for the shortest distance possible The idea is to contribute an entrance fee (12 euro per adult?) and family tickets available. Possibly a better approach than asking people to get sponsorship. I think its on at the end of July? 29th? Anyone hear about this event might know?

SO if you'd rather not see Rush/Lusk turned into a sewage pipe come on down and stretch yer legs. There are flyers in the Supervalu in Lusk. Also saw a sign for it just beyond the Round Towers Service station - just at the T-Junction. Good for whom ever is organising this event. Hoppe they get a massive crowd.. There is a website listed on the flyer but i dinna remember the URL...will update if i find it.

Mot of us are so busy that if ya were to ask a random poll of folk in Lusk /Rush and North County Dublin about this treatment plant most would give an answer along the lines of ...'MEH':rolleyes:

so come along and have fun raise some funds fight the power and run Forrest RUN!

Cyclocross race Sunday 14th Oct at RiverValley Swords

The 2nd round of the FIXX Supercross series will take place this Sunday the 14th October in Swords, North Co Dublin.

Swords is generally regarded as one of the toughest circuits for cyclocross racing in Ireland, and it rewards those who can climb, run, and descend under pressure.

Spectators and fans will also enjoy the compact size, and the challenging nature of the course. The route will feature a number of testing sections, including 2 tarmac climbs, a steep run up, and a number of twisty off camber descents, (with a surprise or two thrown in).

The ground appears to be drying out nicely after weeks of heavy rain, and fast racing is guaranteed.

Timetable Sun 14th Oct 2012

11.30 Course open for practice
12.30 B Race
14.00 A Race
15.20 Prize giving, tea & sambos.

Parking is on Rivervalley View (see map) http://maps.google.ie/maps?q=riverva...ublin&t=m&z=16 Please follow the direction of the Parking Marshals on the day.

Friends of Autism and ADHD are delighted to be in a position to be able to fund an additional 10 Educational assessments for people suspected to have Autism and /or ADD/ADHD.


The assessments will consist of an Educational assessment by Dr Ann Prosser, Psy.D. Dr Prosser is a licensed Certified Clinical Educational psychologist.



Applications from Schools on behalf of children are not accepted and no contact can be made with parents without parent’s written consent.


Along with the assessment will be the support of the advocacy worker Ms Katherine Moreland. Katherine will be able to meet with parents/carers to discuss the reports and will do all she can in sourcing the necessary supports required for the child.


Parents /Careers would be asked to give a donation towards future assessments for people in a similar position.



It is regrettable but places for these assessments are limited. First preference will be given to people who have not already received an assessment. Referral for assessments can be made by contracting Katherine Moreland or Bernie Hagan on 01-8020484, or by email adhdfingal@gmail.com where your details will be taken and you will be contacted as soon as possible.


Assessments will take place between 22nd and 26th April in the Balbriggan Area.


The funding of these assessments would not be made possible without the exceptional work and dedication of the team of people behind the shop

FRIENDS OF AUTISM AND ADHD and we wish to thank each and every one of our team.

For those that donate to us or shop in FRIENDS OF AUTISM AND ADHD, This is a direct result of your generosity and for that we are very grateful
