In
February this year we didi our 3rd annual Internet Project in the
educational Opportunities Centre in CIT. Each macoimh had to
setup and email account and email the answers to a quiz. It
was very sucessful and many thansk to all in CIT
for their help. 
The
40th Macoimh held a cooking night in February. Each macoimh
had to make his his homemade beefburger using minced beed, egg &
flour. When they had it cooked on the gas rings they ate it
and then made dessert - which consisted of Mini Apple Pie with hot
Custard. Mmmm !!
