Irish,
On
the evening of Friday, 16 November, starting at 7pm, the club will be hosting
a tasting event in conjunction with Hoban's. Ambassadors from Jameson and
Guinness will be bringing a variety of products for folks to taste, there will
be food available in a buffet-style format, and we'll have a tab open for
beers (Guinness, Smithwick's, Harp) for a couple of hours.
This is a great fundraising opportunity
for the club, as we'll be receiving a percentage of each ticket
sold. Hoban's will be advertising the event to their customers, so it's
not an Irish-only event, but we profit from good numbers: Irish players are
encouraged to both buy a ticket and to spread the word to
friends. Tickets will be $50, but the first 20 sold to Irish players
will go for $40 each.
Purchase tickets on the website (http://www.washingtonirishrfc.org/dues.php) just like
you'd pay your dues (PAY YOUR DUES). Just pay $50 for each ticket you want to
buy; if you're one of the first 20, the club will give you your $10
back.
Remember, not only are you getting plenty
of food, a few high-quality Irish beers, and tastings of a range of premium
Irish whiskeys, but you're helping the club stay in the black, defray your
drinking costs every Saturday afternoon, and keep dues the lowest in
town.
This is surely going to be a great time.
Contact me if you have any questions. I look forward to seeing you all on
the 16th!
