Wheelchair Ice Skating
I have great pleasure in inviting you to participate in the first ‘Wheelchair Ice Skating’ for people with a Physical disability. This is a regional club incorporating the following counties; Monaghan, Cavan, Louth & Meath. The Club will meet the last Wednesday of every month with the first meeting of this club is due to take place on Wednesday, 26th August, 2009 in the Dundalk Ice Dome, Retail Park, Dundalk Co. Louth, between 12noon-1pm for those in services/organisations and from 6pm-7pm for those outside of services and organisations. The cost of the Ice skating is €5 per person, which has been heavily subsidised for participants by Dundalk Ice Dome.
Wheelchair Ice Skating is a new exciting sporting initiative to take place regionally. This is a joint venture incorporating Spina bifida and Hydrocephalus Association of Ireland, Cavan/Louth/Monaghan sports partnerships and Dundalk Ice Dome. This activity will be for people with a physical disability who use manual or powered wheelchairs. The focus of this new activity will be to introduce Ice skating to those with a disability and family/friends of those with a disability.
In order to facilitate Wheelchair Ice-skating, we are seeking parents/friends/family/ care staff to be volunteers in assisting wheelchair participants to Ice skate. A ratio of one volunteer to one wheelchair Ice skater is required. No experience in Ice Skating is required as we have arranged that volunteers can avail of free Ice skating lessons, Which the sports partnerships are covering the cost of on Wednesday 5th & Wednesday 12th August from 7.30-8.30pm in Dundalk Ice Dome
I have enclosed a registration form for your organisation/group and a volunteer application form.

The committee and members of the
Special Needs Active Parents Group (SNAP) (Cavan)
Invite you to the official launch of their information brochure.
To be held in The Hotel Kilmore, Dublin Road, Co. Cavan 8pm Tuesday 26th May 2009.
The 1st SNAP group was set up in Louth in 2004 followed by Monaghan and then Cavan in 2006.
The Cavan group was established under Majella McGovern through the Cavan Childcare committee funded by the Dormant Accounts Board but now operates independently of outside expertise although it has received funding from the community Foundation of Ireland and from the National Lottery Grant Scheme.
SNAP's vision for the future is to be a positive family focussed group, recognised nationally for providing and ensuring better services, support, activities and information in the pursuit of happy children and supported families.
SNAP aims to support parents of children with special needs, the children themselves and their siblings. We do this through support meetings and talks from professionals, as well as arranging training in new skills to assist parents and children in their everyday lives. We also put a big emphasis on fun days out for the whole family.
We hope that you will be able to come along to the launch of our new information brochure and that you will refer any families to the group who you feel may benefit from the support we offer.
If you can attend on Tuesday 26th please leave a message or text at the above mobile number but if you feel you cannot make it along on the actual launch night please feel free to pass this invitation on to a colleague who may be able to attend in your place.
Many Thanks and we look forward to seeing you on the night.
Yours faithfully
Anthony Davey - Chairperson (SNAP) 087 9583798
