Tickets for the event cost €10, and can be purchased in advanced of the evening from Declan Howard 087-9393818, Karen O'Connor 087-6691523, Nicky Heffernan 087-6724212, and also from the following outlets, Colin Molloy Butchers, Bloom Cafe Abbey Road, & the Mandarin Palace Bar & Restaurant.
We would ask everyone to purchase your tickets from the above named, as all tickets purchased will benefit the club directly. The main gate prize on the night, has once again, been kindly by Sean Power and his staff in Harvey Travel, Gladstone Street, which is a weekend away at the luxurious four-star Castlerosse Hotel in Killarney, which includes breakfast and an evening meal, making it a truly special getaway for the lucky winner, plus many more prizes.
Also on the night, dog nomination cards are available from any committee member. Nominations cost €10, and if your dog is successful in winning on the night, a nice €30 awaits you. This is a great way to add an extra layer of excitement to cheer on your nominated greyhound.
Once again, a courtesy bus transfer will operate to and from the track on the night, with the bus departing from the grotto, and times will be posted closer to the night. So, all in all, a great night is assured, and we once again, encourage everyone from the community to get involved and support your local club, and enjoy a thrilling evening & entertainment and community spirit.
