We want to take this opportunity to thank all our marathon runners who participated in Monday’s Women’s Mini Marathon.

We really appreciate both your physical and fundraising efforts. Although it was a wet day the turn out was fantastic. Everyone made it to the finish line safely and a little soggy. Nothing a good cup of tea and a hot bath didn’t cure.  So thank you!

Who: All lovers of good food and wine.

What: Volunteer event committee recruitment for this year’s “Learn How to Have a Champagne Party on a Bucks Fizz Budget” charity event.

Why: This is an exciting opportunity to get involved with what has been a very successful annual charity event. This year for the first time we are putting together an event committee of people who would volunteer their time to assist with the creation and roll out of November’s event, in areas like logistics, charity auction & raffle and ticket sales.

Why: To actively assist with an established charity event in aid of One Family, Ireland’s leading support organization for people who are parenting alone or sharing parenting and their children.

We are happy to say that Ross Golden Bannon (Editor of Food&Wine Magazine) will be working closely with us on this event as he has done in the past.
