Michael Collins Gala Dinner

Dear Chamber Member,

You’ll probably be aware of the Michael Collins Gala Dinner that is coming up on Friday evening the 12^th October next.  Following the dinner there is concert by Ré Nua with our own Deirdre Archbold, Karen O’Regan and Paula Kingston taking centre stage.  I had the pleasure of attending one of their concerts earlier this year and it was the most enjoyable evening out this year.  I expect the Gala Dinner will top that, because we’ll be fed and watered in the Inchydoney Island Lodge & Spa.

The Michael Collins project team have put together a fabulous weekend festival, celebrating our most famous national figure.  Their effort and time in putting it all together is worthy of our full support. We’re making to big push to ensure the festival kicks off with a full house in the Inchydoney Island Lodge and Spa, this night fortnight.

Similar to the Clon’trepreneur event, we’re giving the Chamber members the opportunity to book their tickets and ensure their place. “Ah sure, you knew I’d be going” won’t cut it, unless I have your name down for a ticket.  The tickets are super value at €45 for the whole event and if you have a group of work colleagues or friends, you can book a table of 10 places for only €395.

I have tickets and anyone that would like me to hold tickets for them, should email me back at chamber@clonakilty.ie with your name and the number of tickets you require. You can collect them from me in the meantime.  I’ll also have tickets with me for the EGM in Fernhill next Wednesday the 3^rd.  You can also book directly with the Inchydoney Island Lodge & Spa at 8833143.  I can be contacted by phone also.

Looking forward to seeing you on the night.

Regards,

Mick Hanly
