Come Dine At Mine – is Eire Og’s version of the TV programme Come Dine with Me – with a fundraising twist! If you’re already a fan of the show, you know the drill. But for those of you who don’t know what we’re talking about, the idea is simple: Just invite a few of your friends over for a dinner party, asking each friend for a €15 donation, enjoy a lovely meal with excellent company, and have fun raising money for the club. Finally, once the fine dining has finished, all are welcome back to the Skule Inn, hosts, guests and those who have not dined with us, everyone can come. There will be a ” Boogie Bus” picking up all those who want to extend their night at the Skule Inn, with entertainment and a full house expected! This night of food and fun will take place on Saturday the 9th February. If you are interested in hosting or have any queries about the event, then please contact Ciaran Leonard 087 6296425, Colin Casey 086 4055385 or Padraig McKenna 087 7874044.
