Hi all

So all set for Sunday Keith Harte fundraiser. Info re times colours and speeds/leaders in this thread on page 1...please don't forget to donate!
Min 20er per person cycling donation is suggested but of course if you'd like to donate more please do!
Myself and Ken will be able to take cash donations on Sunday morning at joes too.
Prizes are as follows for the raffle which will take place in laragh at 12ish. We will sell tickets both at joes and in laragh.
We hope to have huge club photo just as the whites arrive and oranges and reds leave. We hope to do this on laragh green.

2 framed Spin 11 Irish National Team jerseys signed by Nicolas Roche.
1 signed Sean Kelly jersey donated by Donal O'Connor
1 voucher for the Cavern wine bar for a bottle of prosecco and a mixed artisan meat and cheese board for 2 donated by Stephen O'Shea.

The weather(according to the Norwegians) is looking promising!

As mentioned before could leaders bring a camera with them to document the day and your group. We will hopefully have a nice album to remember the great day.

See you all Sunday morning!

Garret

Ps if you're looking for ken or myself to pay or buy raffle tickets we are the 2 baldies who look too old to be still racing but we try hard!

1 other thing please wear club colours as we hope to do a huge club photo on laragh green. No big deal if you can't but would be nice

I'll take some pics for you guys also on the Go Pro.

Daragh

oh right yeh Gar, theres a kit plan!! ok I better make sure its out of the wash
wonder was it fabric softener that ruined the bands on my spin11 shorts uugghhh fierce embarrassing...wonder if the hand wash stuff made it worse on the raid either.... youll see sunday i suppose

And just so there's no confusion I'm the good looking one :-)

Hi Gar,

Please add to the list of prizes a generous gift from Aidan Crowley at Velo Revolution velorevolution.eu/ has kindly donated a 250 voucher. This voucher can be used against stock he has at the time. He's got a great selection of Velo winter gear items ( gloves, overshoes, thermal jackets, tights, hydra jackets) which are coming in at the end of October,or any club orders. Please contact me for any further details you may require.

I'll be looking for the handsome one to buy some tickets from :)

Regards,
Daragh Boyd

Thanks darragh that's brilliant!
And many thanks to Aidan for the most generous donation! Consider it added to the prize pot...

As for kens previous post, being the better looking one in that duo is like a 3 legged donkey winning the grand national against a blind aul nag running the wrong way

Dave McLoughlin is very kindly opening the shop on Sunday morning from 8 am to 9:30 am should anyone find themselves needing the bathroom or indeed a very unexpected mechanical. I hasten to add that the till will not be open, Dave is purely offering a supportive role whilst we are all getting ourselves ready for the spin ahead.

Thank you very much Dave.

Hi Niall,

Yes certainly. If you go to the first post on this topic you will find a link to the main page on which you will see a donate button - should this button not work for you scroll further down and you will see the PayPal donate button.

Hope you are getting on well in Canada.

Well done to all involved in organising today's cycle, and to everyone who came out to support the cause as well. It was fantastic to see, and was probably the largest number of club members to have ever gathered in one place at the one time.

The turn out this morning was a great tribute to Keith from all his friends in Orwell.

Thanks to everyone who has donated and / or took part in the cycle this morning. As well a club members I was glad to meet family and friends of Keith, who came along to cheer us off.

Well what can we say? We had in excess of 200 cyclists turn up this morning to support this fundraiser for Keith. You did yourselves, The Club and in particular Keith and his family proud. From the organising committee (Denis, Eileen, Billy, Brian, Gar, Mark and myself) we would like to say a massive THANK YOU to each and every one of you for your generosity and for participating & donating.

Thanks to our in house professional photographers Aishling, Diarmuid & Dan.

Also a big Thanks to all who donated prizes for the raffle:

Spin 11, Donal O'Connor, Stephen O'Shea, Velo Revolution & Aidan Hammond

Your generosity will go a long way to assist Keith and his family with the costs of adapting his family home amongst other expenses.

Regards

Ken
