LADIES NIGHT

A great night was had at the Gin & Pizza night in The Log Cabin. A huge thank you to everyone who supported the

night. Safe to say it was a huge success! It wouldn’t have been possible without the amazing generosity of Blackwater Distillery who provided the ladies with a gorgeous selection of gins and vodka, as well as expert advice from Dan.

Also, a huge thank you to our bartender Darren Conroy who added so much fun and professionalism to the night. To Jason and Fiona from P61 Pizza, thank you so much for providing us with the doughballs for our pizzas, as well as a lovely prize and much appreciated advice!

Sincere thanks to all those who sponsored prizes - The Old Bank, The Vault, Vanilla Boutique, Susza, Mari Mina Pharmacy, Lyons Pharmacy Fermoy, as well as Hennessy Hair and Beauty. A special mention to Mike Sheehan who kept us all on the dancefloor for the night. Thank you also to Mono, Kathleen, Emer and Laila Rose for keeping us all hydrated. Well done to all in the Gala committee for putting in a huge effort to organise a fantastic night.

Finally, a big ‘grazie’ to Gino, the Italian looking for love. It may not have happened last night, but keep the shirt open and fingers crossed!
