Mitchell House School

Mitchell House School is a co-educational special school located in east Belfast for up to 80 children between the ages of 2 and 19 years with physical disabilities. The Club has developed a special relationship with the school and for several years the Belfast Club has provided Christmas parties for the children which have been great days, the kids have a ball and the enthusiasm is contagious.

The school also participates in our 'Kids Out' Programme (see separate section).

2011 Christmas Party

As in previous years, the Club organised a Christmas Party for the Junior School, this year it took place at the School on 13 December.

Having enjoyed some singing and games, wonderfully run by the Staff, the children had drinks and snacks (kindly organised by PP Brian Ferguson) before another hilarious show by Magic George who never ceases to have not only the children in raptures but also the staff and the helping Rotarians who this year were (from left) Past President Brian Ferguson, Eric and June Rainey, Mark Davidson, PP Brian Clements, John Williamson, Santa and VP Ken Morrison. 

Santa (who had a remarkable resemblance to PP Courtenay Thompson) then distributed the goody bags containing several presents kindly sourced and put together by PP Brian Clements.

The children have sent thank you cards to all those who helped at the party. (click to enlarge)

As always those who were there are left with amazing happy memories and all members should appreciate just how beneficial this project is.
