What a day we had a Baldonnel! Approximately 80 people were there representing the families of CLDI. They were a variety of ages and came from all parts of the country. We saw the flight simulator and some were lucky enough to have a go landing the plane. There were guns on show. I think most of us got closer than we ever thought we would.

After lunch we went to see the museum which show planes through the ages and gives some history of the Irish Air Corps. There were helicopters planes, and fire trucks for us to climb in and out of. It was fantastic to see the 'big kids' as excited as the children. We also got to see and hold the hawls and falcons that protect the aerodrome from birds.

It was great fun and there was something there for everyone.

It was also wonderful to meet the children that we have been hearing about and to see them enjoying themselves.

We have to thank the Air Corps for hosting us. They really pulled out all the stops. 

INVITE

We have arranged a day out in Baldonnel for 30th November 2013 at 12.00.

It is a great opportunity for those of us who have used the services to see it in less frantic times and to thank the Air Corps. Also it will be great for those who may have to use their services in the future to see it. And let be honest it is fantastic to have an excuse to see the planes and helicopters.

All CLDI families are invited.

We need to give the Air Corps an estimate of numbers so if you are interested in attending please let us know on childrensliverdiseaseireland@gmail.com
