October 2007 Day Out

We had our Óg Ógras day out for the small clubs on the the 18th November 2007. It took part at Citylimits and Oranmore Omniplex in Oranmore, Co Galway.

One hundred and sixty children took part in the day out . The number of clubs and children wanting to take part was so high that we had to have 2 days for the Lá Óg Ógras instead of the usual one day. The clubs came together in Oranmore at 10.30am on Sunday morning and each club was divided into groups of 50 children. They were then taken away to do all the different activities which included High Wall Climbing, Laserquest, Bowling and they all had lunch in the new restaurant open up stairs in Citylimits.

When the young people had completed their different activities they were brought across to the Omniplex next door where they went to watch the film Ratatouille. Because our numbers were so high we had the whole screen to ourselves. They had a great time watching the film and eating popcorn and sweets. When the film was over they all gathered at the front door so they could be assembled in their groups for the 5 buses that were waiting for them outside. The children had a really good day and enjoyed it thoroughly as did the leaders who were with them for the day even if they were a bit tired by then.

We will have our day out for the Mayo Clubs before Christmas.
