The Parade The Ballymun Festival Steering Group would like to invite you to participate in the Other World Festival Parade on Halloween Night 31st October 2012. The theme of the Parade this year is Dracula, Vampires and Bats and we are hoping that, as many individuals, groups and organisations will take part. Why not join in – get your friends, group or organisation to make a float, dress up in a scary costume, or carry a flag for your team! We are just waiting to hear any ideas you may have to make the Parade bigger and better. A show of strength will let everyone know that Ballymun has a vibirant community and voluntary sector!

Age Friendly Taste of DCU Day 13th September
As part of our commitment to being an Age-Friendly University, DCU is running a one-day programme, A Taste of DCU, specifically designed for older adults. Our intention is to give participants a taste of the range and breadth of courses we offer, as well as providing an opportunity to visit the campus and meet with DCU staff and students. The programme will be delivered by leading experts in their respective fields and will be aimed at a general, non-specialist audience.
Participants will experience a diversity of academic, sports, cultural and social activities. The day will conclude with a reception in the Helix at 4.00pm. Participants will be provided with guidance and information on programmes and activities commencing in October 2012.
The event is free of charge for all participants. The detailed programme is attached.
For further information please see the link attached. We welcome you to bring this event to the attention of family members and friends.
