Things will soon really be racing along for Wexford GAA! The annual Cairde Loch Garman Race Day, proudly sponsored by Molloy Metals, will take place on Friday July 7 at Wexford Racecourse. It promises to be a great evening’s entertainment, and the Wexford GAA social event of the summer.
Tickets bought in advance cost just €10 each – a 50% saving on the “on the day” price of €20. They are available through all GAA clubs in Wexford, and can also be bought online at www.wexfordgaa.ie/tickets
The evening itself will bring a full National Hunt race card, as well as fringe events including competitions for Best Dressed Lady and Best Dressed Gentleman. After racing, there will be entertainment and music ‘till late, and all who attend are welcome to stay on to enjoy the fun.
Last year brought the return of the annual Race Day, after it had to be shelved for two years due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and it proved to be a great success. All involved are eagerly looking forward to this year’s being even better!
Funds raised will be used to support Wexford GAA’s ongoing investment in the Integrated Athletic Development Programme. This programme, which launched last September, brings delivery of athletic development training to some 1,500 secondary school students on an annual basis.
A corporate event is also being held on the evening, with attractions including a table service dinner, expert tipsters, and a GAA discussion panel. Tables for ten people each are available, and for further details, contact the office in Chadwicks Wexford Park at (053) 9144808 to speak with Bernie.
Businesses and others who wish to show their support through advertising in the full-colour race card for the evening can also contact the same number.
Cathaoirleach CLG Loch Garman, Micheál Martin, is among those looking forward to the event.
Last year’s Race Day was a brilliant occasion, with more than 40 businesses enjoying a great evening while hosting staff and customers, and many more people attending and also having a great night out. We’re now really looking forward to this year’s event. It’s fantastic to see we’ve already got such support from the business community, and we’re sure there’ll be a big crowd from the GAA community there to enjoy the evening.
He added his thanks to Molloy Metals (main event sponsor), all other sponsors, and Wexford Racecourse, for their co-operation and assistance in making the event happen.
