St Kevin’s Hard Sell

461

eah, baby, we all loves dat sweet, sweet money…

Especially, you know, when it drops out of the sky, gratis, no charge and, eh, for free.

Well, if that sounds like your kind of heaven, you may want to get yourself along to the Park View Hotel on Saturday, October 28th, for that’s the day St Kevin’s National School will be hosting their 20K Drop, baby.

Eight lucky contestants will be plucked randomly from the audience – our advice; wear a big hat – and, a few easy-queasy questions later, they’ll sit back down in their seats feckin’ minted. To the tune of €20,000.

Nice.

And it’s all for a mighty good cause too, of course. Namely, refurbishing and redecorating the classrooms up in St Kevin’s National School.

Hurrah!

The proud parents and the wily organisers were out in force for the 20K Drop launch at The Whale tonight, the one agus only Laura Wood on MC duties, whilst the revellers were kept in check – this was a Wednesday night, after all – by school principal Scott Vance. Also partying were event partners Pallas Marketing, who are keen to let the good businesses of Greystones and beyond know that they can be part of this magical night. By taking out an ad, you skinflints.

After a big shout-out to the event sponsors – take a bow, BBA Architects, BPT Fitness, Brereton Carpets, Damien Keogh & Associates, Des Doyle Butchers, Geoghegan Home Extensions, KBC, Ori-Derm and the mighty Mooch – and a special thanks to Oliver Leonard for his very generous donation, and Ross McParland for hosting the night, a demonstration of the game (based on popular TV game show, The Million Pound Drop) was followed by Cathaoirleach Gerry Walsh buying the very first ticket.

Speaking of which, tickets are €25, or you can grab 4 for €80. Alongside that 20K Drop on the night, there will also be a raffle, spot prizes, an auction and music into the go-wee-wee hours.

Among the amazing goodies to be won is a signed and framed Aertex by Paul Dunne. Nice.
