Winners of the annual 4 ball competition held on a rain soaked day at Fortwilliam Golf Club in one of the wettest years on record.
The youngest team won and are looking forward to their trip to Druids Heath Golf Course. The prize was presented by the Captain Mr Michael Graham. The golfers who turned out for the competition all deserve special thanks for braving the elements and a very special thank you to those who did the 18 holes instead of the 13 they were expected to do - no prizes for this though. Thanks to Kevin McCourt for providing meals all day for entrants. The day was rounded off with music from Network and a raffle. We sincerely hope that the 4 ball in 2009 will have sunnier weather.
The quiz master poses the questions for quiz teams at the annual table quiz in the Landsdowne Hotel Belfast. The teams were very competitive and the academics from South Belfast were the eventual winners. Having a mixed age group helps especially with the music questions!! Local businesses generously donated gifts for the Tombola which was as usual a great success. Despite the European Cup Final we had a great attendance but took a break so that the football fans could watch the penalty shoot out.
The stalwarts of the Belfast marathon took to the streets again in aid of the Thomas Devlin Fund. This year the Fund had a relay team, walkers for the 9 mile walk and fun run entrants with our youngest entrant being Layla at just under 2 years old. if anyone wishes to enter the marathon events in 2009 contact Belfast City Council - we will supply the t shirts!
The Young People’s
Awards is a community safety project which highlights the positive contribution
of young people striving to make their communities safer places.All too often young people do not get the
recognition they deserve for their hard work and dedication in making a
positive difference in their communities.The aim of the awards is to act as a platform providing recognition to
young people for their outstanding work in addressing community safety issues.
The awards evening was held in the Waterfront Hall on Monday the 21st
April and was attended by the Lord Mayor Jim Rodgers, as well as local
personality Gerard McCarthy ( Kris from HollyOaks).
The winner of the
Thomas Devlin Gold Award was a group of young people from Alternative Futures
who have been involved in a safety project with the Knock Fire Station in East Belfast. The boys created a mosaic with the help of
a local artist which is on display in the fire station
