Christmas 2001.
Mick Wilson does his Santa bit for the children of Dublin's Goldwing owners again this year. Many thanks to Mick and also to Robbie Nolan who supplies the sweets and selection boxes every year.

Dylan waiting patiently for Mick to arrive in South Annes Street. Dylan was
doing the helper Elf this year.
Mick with his grandchildren just before he and Dylan went off to get changed
into their costumes.
Santa and his helper arrive at last on Mick's Goldwing.
Santa does the handouts to our kids first. There are plenty of passers by to
look after then.
Santa heads into Eddie Rockets then to give out the last of the sweets to the
kids inside. The customers love this and so do the staff. I usually do a whip
round for the staff (collected from the Goldwing owners) every Christmas. We use
Eddies as our meeting place every Sunday and the staff don't hassle us with
minimum charge, we can wander in and out as we please. This year I collected
£105 for them.
Gay Byrne was passing by and stopped for a chat and posed for some photos.
Happy Christmas Gay and the same to all my web page visitors from us Wing owners!
