BUCCS FASHION SHOW A “RUNWAY” SUCCESS!
Buccaneers Rugby Football Club’s FASHION SHOW, staged at Athlone’s Radisson Blu Hotel and sponsored by Carraig Donn, proved a hugely successful and enjoyable event. Hundreds of ladies (and a few brave males!) witnessed a wonderful array of fashion from the top stores in Athlone and indeed further afield.
Mandy Maher was MC for the occasion and her fabulous Catwalk models strutted the fashion in style. They had hot competition from our very own Buccaneers players who also took to the ramp like they were born for it! The Girls U-16 players also took to the catwalk.
Stylist Kelly McDonnell selected the Most Stylish ladies, sponsored by Wineport Lodge and Strawberry Hill, with two awards this year. Maureen Flynn from Athlone and Clara’s Elizabeth Fleming were the fashionable winners.
Mary’s Supervalu and The Bounty sponsored the Prosecco reception on arrival when those attending were treated to fine music by Ray O’Loughlin & All That Jazz. Later during the show there was a surprise appearance by The Galway Tenors who had the venue hopping.
Buccaneers RFC thanks all the stores who provided style for the models and is also grateful to those who took stands at the event. The Radisson Blu Hotel is thanked for again hosting the club’s Fashion Show and already we are looking forward to the next one! The club is very thankful for all who attended the event, which had a super entry prize of B&B at Dublin’s Charlemont Hilton Hotel.
But the “runway” success of the Fashion Show did not happen simply by pure chance. Here Buccaneers RFC is hugely indebted to the organising by not one but two gorgeous Geraldine Kennys, aided by their support team including Claire Moore, Ann Marie Reid and Susan Carty. Well done, ladies, and thank you.
