Our major event will be a race night which will be held in the Spinning Wheel on Friday the 12th June 2015 at 8.30 p.m. This will be a guaranteed night of fun and craic and we are asking for the support of everyone within the Club to make sure that this event will be a great success. The cost to purchase a horse on the night is €10.00 and to sponsor a race for the night is €50.00 so we hope that you will all invest in a horse or two before the big night!! Remember all the money raised goes to support the players of tomorrow. Please contact Paddy Conlon for further details on buying a horse or sponsoring a race on the night.
