Ballaquayle School

dreamcatcher-2011-008

A very different application came into The Dream Catcher Appeal from the head of Ballaqauyle school back in April asking if Dream Catcher could grant a wish of the children at the school for a footpath to lead to their school playing field.
The was currently no footpath from the school to the field and so in the winter months this area would be out of bounds to students without welly boots or a very mess trek through the mud.
Many companies had helped with digging out the footpath and donating funds but there was still a shortfall in funds for the project.
The comittee agreed that by providing the funds for the materials the path could get underway and so this wish was granted.
Below are some of the pictures from the opening of the footpath for which Dream Catcher were delighted to go along to.

Monday, April 25th, 2011

Mr Ian Cottier was the highest bidder in The Big Shout auction 2010 for Dream Catcher and today had the pleasure of turning on the Laxey Wheel for the start the season.
His family came along and a fun day was had by all. Crackers suffered a little vertigo and decided to wait at the bottom to meet the family. What a wonderful view we had from the top of the wheel and Mr Cottier and his Grandson did a great job of making the wheel turn.
Well done and thank you for your donation we hope you enjoyed your day.
