The Rollercoaster Ride of putting Charity Day on…

Probably the favourite photo of Charity Day – beers and smiles! More photos soon and more Thankyou’s to come too – For instance Monkey aka DJ Terry Barbados raised round €800 in a night at O’Sullivans (aka Dick’s) with the staff contributing their tips for the night too.

Great to see everyone coming together, volunteering and helping in loads of ways – really showing a great spirit of camaraderie & friendship all working together to support great causes that touch us all – you’re all stars.

The work, difficulties, logistics and organisation involved is immense – Power, Water, Fencing, Staging, Bars, Beer Coolers, Fridges, Ice, Seating, Tables, Insurance, PA and Sound Desk, Toilets, BBQ, Hog Roast, Curries, Bouncy Castle, T-Shirts, Beanies, Sunnies, Tourist Office / Mairee permissions, Comedy, Silent Disco & Bands organisation, Security, Transport plus the clean up afterwards, staff food and some accommodation too etc etc etc.

The full roll of honour will appear soon. But hey, I think we’re getting the hang of this now!

Don’t think I’ve seen T Wall work a straight 6 hour shift all behind the bar (with one arm) for a while either – for Mini, Crispy and the youngsters it’s a given, I was knackered after half an hour but something like 4,000 pints of Amstel in 6 hours sold at The Ski Lodge bar alone! The more you drank, the more you raised for Charity!
