Pulse partners with Tattersalls Festival

Ratoath Pulse are delighted to be chosen by Tattersalls Ireland as the main charity beneficiary for their up and coming festival weekend which takes place over four days from the 27th to the 30th May in Ratoath.

The Tattersalls Festival featuring the International Horse Trials has been expanded this year to cater for non equestrian visitors, particularly families, looking for a fun day out.

For the equestrian enthusiastic they will be treated to a line up of top international horses and riders who will be gathering to take part in one of the most demanding sports in the world at the Tattersalls International Horse Trials in association with HSI, incorporating the HSBC FEI World Cup Eventing™ Qualifier.

To cater for families looking to enjoy a day out the Tattersalls Festival will include a Festival Village with crafts, shopping village and tasty local produce from Good Food Ireland as well as a host of activities for children and adults alike from dog competitions and archery to face painting and kids’ games.

Picnics and barbecues will be the order of the day! Spectators on Saturday 29 May will be able to watch the thrills and spills of cross country day by booking a picnic site close up to the excitement of the water fence where the whole family can enjoy the action with the car adjacent with all the picnic gear.

Those who wish to relax with a glass of wine can still watch the action in a magnificent new Moscow Flyer Pavilion where three-course lunches will be served at reserved tables overlooking the arena, an ideal spot to view the excitement of the finale of the show jumping on Sunday 30 May.

Pulse Chairperson Laura Murphy is delighted that Pulse are involved in such a prestigious event saying “I urge our families and young people of Ratoath to come visit Tattersalls over this weekend to support this international amazing event on our very doorstep whilst supporting Pulse, a safe friendly space for the youth of Ratoath”.

Pulse founding Member, local TD and Ratoath resident Mary Wallace has attended the Tattersalls International Horse Trials and Festival in previous years. Deputy Wallace stated “This is a great day out for families and is well worth attending while also supporting our local project Pulse who are doing trojan work to provide a safe place for our teenagers to chill out and socialise with their friends.

Tattersalls Ireland Director and Ratoath resident Roger Casey stated: ‘We are delighted to support a local and worthy cause this year and we hope that the Tattersalls Festival is a huge success for Pulse in 2010’.

Cinema Night a success for Ratoath Youth

Cllr Nick Killian welcomed approx 50 young people from Ratoath aged 15-17 years to the Venue Theater in the Ratoath Community Centre last Thursday night (18th Dec) to view a movie. This was the first organised social event for our young people following meetings with Minister of State Mary Wallace and Cllr Nick Killian in recent months to further improve the facilities we have for our young people in Ratoath.

 The students paid €5 each to see the movie “Tropic Thunder” starring Ben Stiller, Robert Downey Jr, Jack Black and they were able to buy confectionary on the night. A small group of adults were on hand to support the students. Proceeds on the night went towards fundraising for a youth café here in Ratoath.

In October Minister Wallace and Cllr Nick Killian met with a large gathering of parents, representatives of community clubs, local schools and government state agencies following a public call in Ratoath by them for suggestions and ideas as to how the community could work together to further develop all the wonderful facilities we have for our young people in Ratoath and in particular to cater for the age group 15-17 who themselves are anxious to establish social facilities for their age group.
 
The suggestion of an alcohol free place for teenagers to chill out with their friends was suggested as a further facility for our young people in the area. A committee was set up to look at the logistics of setting up an alcohol free youth café in Ratoath. Following a recent visit to the Youth Cafe in Corduff, Blanchardstown the committee decided that they are going to pursue a Foroige type ethos for the proposed Youth Cafe in Ratoath. Training will be arranged in the new year for both adults and students on the running of a youth café. Funding initiatives are being examined on an ongoing basis.

Adult Volunteers are needed to support our young people in organised activities over the coming year. Anyone interested is asked to contact Yvonne @ Mary Wallace TD office on 01-8256259.
