Was it a sell out?

I think there was 38 tables.
Most of the current team were there alrite and a few old faces, Johnny Morris Burke, Jimmy Nolan and a few more oh and the infamous Jumbo Brennan

38 x 1000 = a nice little profit!

thats if they had to pay the radisson anything at all? remember they are our main sponsors so if we did have to pay something it would probably at a large discount. If you tell a hotel they want dinner for 380 people they would be willing to cut the price to get that many people in!

i know they definitely had to pay for it but i have no idea what the Radisson were charging per head.

But all in all, good nite, good turnout and sold a good few season tickets as well at it

A lot of additional revenue was taken in on the night, along with the revenue from the tables. These fundraisers are the way to go. Organisation from the GUFC point of view was very professional.

However, I was not impressed by the standard of food served. No choice, main course meagre enough. Would not recommend "The Rad" for a wedding.
