lunch for the guests, which
also included a custom made
‘Class Az’ milkshake!
After a successful lunch it
was into one of the main
classrooms for a live perfor-
mance of some of the Class
Az well known tracks includ-
ing ‘I’m Back’, Irish Tune’ and
an acoustic version of ‘Be
Someone’.
One such student there on
the day was music enthusiast
Brendan Ward… “We had
an exciting day in
Youthreach that day, it was a
great chance to meet a rap
group from Dublin. It was
the first time we ever had
anything like this in the cen-
tre.
Back in December the stu-
dents of Youthreach with
the help of their tutors orga-
nized a gig with a difference.
The majority of the students
in Youthreach are big fans of
rap and hip-hop music and
the idea of putting on a gig in
the centre was something
that united the whole centre
together. Irish rap has always
been a firm favourite in the
centre so the obvious choice
for the students was to get
in contact with the Irish Rap
group the ‘Class Az’.
The main founders of the
Class Az, Redzer and
Terawrizt arrived down
from Dublin in the morning
to be greeted by all 25 stu-
dents. After a quick look
around the centre, the guys
took part in a Q&A session
where the students had the
chance to ask the group
questions about their career
so far and for advice on how
to get started in the music
industry.
Then it was into the dining
room where students had
prepared a tasty 3 course

They answered all our ques-
tions, chatted to us during
lunch and played a great gig
including all their hits. We
ended the day with a few
inspirational words from
Redzer. It was a huge suc-
cess and all the students
would love to see a day like
it again.”
Another student there on
the day was Roisin Fitzger-
ald. ‘’Coming up to Christ-

It’s not long before he gains their trust and is accepted by Bodhi and the other surfers. Bodhi treats Johnny like a broth-er, teaching him how to surf the waves and be-come one of them. But will Johnny be able to betray his new found friends and bring the bank robbers to justice? I recommend this movie
because it’s bursting with
action from start to finish. I
really enjoyed the acting
from Keanu Reeves and
Patrick Swayze, they
worked really well together.
For a movie that’s over 23
years old I think it has last-
ed the test of time... a great
movie to watch this sum-
mer!
By Richie McCormack
Point break is a classic action movie made in 1991. It’s based on a cop Johnny Utah played by Keanu Reeves who goes under-cover to try and catch a gang of bank robbers. The cops believe that the rob-bers are actually surfers so Johnny has a plan to learn how to surf in order to find out who the robbers are. He makes friends with Bodhi played by Patrick Swayze who turns out to be the leader of the gang.

Its Punchestown Time Again!

Punchestown is al-most upon us again and so in this months issue we sat down with horse racing en-thusiast John Curtis to tell us what makes the Punchestown Festival so special.
Punchestown Race-course is located in the parish of Eadestown, near Naas, County Kil-dare, in Ireland. It is known as the home of Irish Jumps Racing and plays host to the annu-al Punchestown Irish National Hunt Festival. The racecourse itself has a hurdle and stee-plechase track. The hurdle course is one mile six furlongs in dis-tance while the chase course is 2 miles. Punchestown Race-course also has the on-ly cross country banks course in Ireland.
The Punchestown Festi-val is the major horse rac-
ing festival of the Irish Na-tional Hunt Season and is usually held annually in April. The Punchestown Festival is held over five days, between Tuesday and Saturday inclu-sive. It is seen by many as the Irish version of the Chel-tenham Festival and is run in a very similar format.
The major races at the Festi-val are the Champion Chase, Ryanair Novice Chase, Champion Hurdle, World Se-ries Hurdle, Evening Herald Champion Novice Hurdle, Cathal Ryan Memorial Champion Novice Hurdle, Growise Champion Novice Chase, Champion Four Year Old Hurdle, Champion INH Flat Race and the Punch-estown Gold Cup.

Here are some interesting Facts about Punchestown:
IN 1823 the first recorded race meeting was held at Punchestown. The attendance at 2012 Punch-estown Festival was over 91,000. This number was affected by severe weather warnings and rescheduled races. The anticipated attendance for 2013 is 98,000. The direct economic value of 2012 Festival was estimated at just under €60 million although a further €9 mil-lion could be added to account for the indirect economic or expenditure multiplier effects. The Festival was extended from a four day to a five day event in 2008. The fifth day, saturday, has grown in attendance from just over 2,300 to almost 26,000 in 2012. Over 6,000 of this number were children under 14 years of age. Over 50 overseas journalists, pho-tographers and TV crews in 2012. By John Curtis

when I was 15 years old I
watched him on TV. I ad-
mired the way he played his
football, his skill and his
dedication to the team and I
wanted to play the same as
him’’
Jason also admires his men-
tal strength. ‘’One thing I
love about him is his atti-
tude. He will chase back
every ball and he has a
‘never say die
attitude...he plays to the
90th minute.’’
