3. Ulsterbus sponsored ‘Picnic in the Park’ as part of the ‘Larne Alive’ Summer Festival by providing free transport to Carnfunnock Country Park.
4. Translink were delighted to sponsor the fifth annual Ulster in Bloom Schools’ art competition. For this years competition, key stage three pupils across Northern Ireland were invited to develop their own artistic creations, which adhered to the Oriental theme, while illustrating the environmental messages of Ulster in Bloom.
Four budding young artists out-drew, painted, printed, glued and stuck the competition from 20 shortlisted entries drawn from a record number of submissions, to win each of their categories.
5. NI Railways Andrew Morrissey and Ian McAdam were delighted to welcome a group of young people from Chernobyl to Central Station. The children, staying with host families, were on holiday in Northern Ireland.
Many of the group had never been on a train and they were very excited! The children come from an area still devastated by high levels of nuclear radiation resulting from the explosion at the nuclear power plant in Chernobyl in 1986.
