2024 IMRA Social @ The Merrion Inn

AuthorDateMessage
Lillian DeeganJul 20 2024, 9:15pmEvening everyone,

On to pin a save the date jobbie.

We have placed a booking at the Merrion Inn (located across the road from Vincent’s hospital) for the end of summer social. This session will replace our awards night usually held on the last Wednesday of the Leinster League. We have made the change to a weekend night for this year in the hope it will allow for members join us for the awards evening to make a night of it in great company come Saturday, August 24th.

Awards for presentation will be - the League, the Trail League and the Leinster League. Plus, as it stands, we aim to include the Half Marathon League due to wrap on Aug. 17th.

There will be a lovely mix of hot sharing food platters and a decent selection of vegetarian options for everyone. To help us gauge a guide on numbers attending, we will have the usual €10 per head ticket option in the shop for this one. Your entry will cover food and a drink of your choice from the bar. We will kick the evening off from 18:30 onwards and we’ll be out the door by half after midnight.

We will sort the shop jazz tomorrow and I’ll post a msg in due course detailing our stellar line up of 2024 league winners. It is really great seeing so many new members in the mix from this year’s league standings to date.

So if you can, try and save the date to join us for the night. It’s going to be great!
