St Patricks Day Celebrations – Sat 11th March 2023 at the Conservative Club Warminster
The Warminster Branch of the Royal Irish Rangers Association will be holding the Warminster St Patrick’s Day celebrations on Saturday 11th March at the Conservative Club, Warminster, BA12 9LB.
It will be our 29th gathering since we started the event in 1994, the cost will be £20 and this will cover entertainment, shamrock flown in from Ireland, food, staff costs and the use of the facilities, which includes the opportunity to stay in the Conservative Club for the evening disco.
We plan to meet in the Conservative Club on Saturday 11th March from 11.00hrs. After an informal presentation of shamrock, a lunch consisting of Curry, Irish stew, champ and a desert will be served. Thereafter, the plan is to enjoy our own company whilst being entertained by a Pipe Band and some Irish folk music playing in the background.
Over the years, our numbers have increased making this one of the highlights on the Regimental calendar for many of you. It is our intention to continue to provide you all, with the opportunity to meet up with as many ‘old’ friends as we can. Our contact lists are only as good as the information that you provide the Branch, if you know of someone we have either failed to contact this year, or who you would like to be included, please let me know.
You are asked to CLICK HERE to download and complete the return slip and send it back, by no later than Wednesday 1st March 2023. If you have, any queries then do not hesitate to contact the Branch ahead of the event. It would be extremely helpful to have your current email address. We look forward to seeing you all again on Saturday 11th March.
