Dear member/friend,

Simonstown Gaels GFC is running its first ever race day as part of the Navan national hunt meeting on Saturday March 4th

It is one of the last big race meetings prior to the Cheltenham Festival which gets underway 10 days later and is sure to tap into the sense of anticipation and excitement around the showpiece event of the jumps calendar.

As neighbours, Simonstown and Navan Racecourse have had a long association of close ties and co-operation in a number of areas and we are delighted to liaise now with them on this venture.

We are hoping we can tap into the keen interest in racing within the club and the area to help raise funds to support the resurfacing of our all-weather pitch which has been in extensive use since it was first laid in 2007 and has been of enormous benefit to teams in the club and the wider community.

It is the club's intention to set aside 10 tables of 10 for the afternoon in one of Navan's hospitality suites.

Included in the table package is entry, a four-course meal, a race card, expert analysis to run through the card and some potential Cheltenham pointers too with live music to follow. The cost per table of 10 will be €1000 or €100 per person.

As it is a first fundraising event of this nature undertaken by the club, our steps are tentative but we are hoping we can enjoy support on it from some of our most loyal and long-standing friends, patrons and members.

If you are interested in joining us on the day by purchasing a table of 10 outright or a number of seats at a table, we would be delighted to hear from you.

Yours In Sport
