FANS of Fermanagh GAA and horse racing have their ultimate afternoon in store as Club Eirne is announcing their upcoming Club Eirne Race Day on May 1st, at Down Royal.
For the first time, Club Eirne will host the event in the prestigious Guinness Suite, which overlooks the racecourse, and anybody can get right up close to the action by pledging themselves to come along to what should be a great occasion.
A day packed with GAA chat, fun, and catching up with old acquaintances is scheduled to commence at 12.30pm with a four course meal and complimentary wine for all guests.
The Races themselves are anticipated to start at 2.00pm with the last race around 5.30pm after which a band will come on stage to entertain all who wish to make an evening out of the event.
The Race Day will certainly provide an excellent opportunity for all present to network with both local Fermanagh people and indeed with people from across the island as Club Eirne are aiming to have in excess of 400 people present.
The price of a table (for 10 people) is £1,000 and this includes races admission costs, four-course dinner and complimentary wine, a racecard, a celebrity tipster, exclusive access to the Tote betting and the chance to mingle with a few sporting icons.
There are opportunities also to advertise your business in the Race Card, sponsor a Race or indeed to be the overall Club Eirne Race Day sponsor.
Tables are already filling up fast, so to be sure of your place at this Bank Holiday relaxed, fun event, as well as supporting the much needed development of Fermanagh GAA activities, get in contact with a Club Eirne representative now.
The work of Club Eirne continues to put Fermanagh on a sure footing, with the appointment of two high-profile coaches working primarily with underage teams a significant boost to the nurturing of young talent right across the County.
“A lot of good work has been undertaken in the last few years but there is a lot more to do and like most things in life finances will determine how quickly and efficiently Fermanagh GAA can move on matters,” said Ger Treacy, Chairman of Club Eirne.
“That is where Club Eirne comes into play and I am very proud of my committee’s efforts and achievements since December 2014. We
have provided over £100,000 to Fermanagh GAA in 2016 and have guaranteed £150,000 in 2017. Club Eirne are continuing to recruit new members, patrons, gold patrons and recently brought on board Quinn Building Products as our first Brand Partner which is a significant boost to our ongoing work.
“The monies generated from our loyal members and patrons and from our Race Day should definitely see us meet our target of £150,000. However we wish to surpass that if at all possible. With help from people and businesses that support our events such as our Race Day we can achieve our aims.”
