[Conor H]

Absoloutely brillaint night.Couldn't get over how good it was.This year was a huge success but my God next year will be something else when people hear what they missed!

[Tir Oilean]

Absolutely mighty craic shame the gambling had to finish when it did mind you twud have made f all difference to me as I finished up without a single chip!:( Got a nice consolation prize tho!!:D

[gufct]

Great night well done to all who organised it and for those who stayed away you missed one of the most enjoyable nights ive had at a GUFC function.

[galwaygirl]

Absolutely brilliant nite. It was one of if not the best nites out for me in a very long time. Well done to all the organisers and as Conor H said hopefully next year will be even bigger and better

[GuisaSaigon]

Class night, Mark Lowry and Ronan and all the organisers deserve a lot of credit. For those who missed out, make sure you dont miss it next year!

[KoemansCC]

Another positive vote here, thought it was a class night and the casino theme was so different to the typical race night fund raisers that have become the norm....would definitely go again and recommend it to others...

[Mr A]

Was highly impressed with the running of the casino night- this has great potential to be a really good fundraiser, even if the company doesn't come cheap. A very good night and I'll certainly attend again next year if I can.

[Paddyfield]

Very professional set up. Well done GUST.
Next year, I will bring a few lads who I know will enjoy it.

[GUISAUltra]

great night, very well run. it was an awful lot better than i expected it to be and everyone that had a hand in it should take a bow
