See you there !
Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig oraibh!

You can meet the Clonbony Ladies on Facebook here or visit their short profile over here.

The game aftermath has been planned as a social event of getting together and having fun, so everybody is more than welcome to join the ladies not only as spectators during the day, but for the post-match entertainment as well. We would like to wish our ladies good luck for the games and hope for good weather conditions so that more fans and supporters can join in on the day at Gartenstadt.

The evening also offers the opportunity of attending the WildeNight Out 2009 – a charity fundraiser event organised by DIF-Bayern and kindly sponsored by the Embassy of Ireland, Berlin, and the Munich-based company Riverland Solutions GmbH. The event shall take place at the Schlachthof, Zenettistr. 9, in Munich and would offer its audience the theatrical one-man-show “In the Company of Oscar Wilde” performed by Alan Stanford, followed by live Irish music.

The Munich Colmcilles are one of the charity beneficiaries alongside with the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, Ireland, so we encourage everybody to join in. You can find out more about the event and purchase tickets here.

The weather is supposed to be kinder to us this year but don’t forget the sun screen in case. You should all have the directions from the previous mail and the underground stop Quiddestrasse is less than 10 minutes away from the grounds. You should all turn left when leaving the train and up the stairs. This will all be signed from here on to help you get to the grounds.
