Pre-school Children's Christmas Party For Dounreay Staff
 UKAEA
Dounreay has again hosted their children's Christmas parties for children of
UKAEA employees. Three parties were held; preschool, ages 5-8 and ages 9-12.
The parties this year were held in the Ross Institute in Halkirk where great
fun was had by all, with Santa Claus's visit being most favourite. With
safety being top priority on the Dounreay site and all entering the site now
wearing hi-viz jackets it was thought to be appropriate to pass this safety
message onto the children. All children attending were given a hi-viz
waistcoat courtesy of CH2MHill. Pictured here are the children and parents
who attended the pre-school party.
