Hi Guy...

Two teams from a 300+ membership social hiking group, based in Dublin (Challenge Hikers on Facebook) are holding a table quiz in Dublin (location to be confirmed this week) on the 24th of March in aid of Focus Ireland.
We are looking for suppliers of hiking/climbing courses and outdoor shops to donate prize/s if possible.
Last year we raised 9k with one team.

The potential reward for supplying prizes would be the exposure to a large hiking group who are either looking to learn new skills or upgrade existing skills (many members are also looking to get into climbing).
If you are interested you can contact me on 086.3512852 or ambroseno1@hotmail.com.
All prizes will be greatly appreciated.

P.s... I hope this post is ok.. mister McMullan... if not.. I demand a scolding..

Cheers guys, Grin

I would like to thank the following individuals/companies for donating prizes to the 4 Peaks Focus Ireland table quiz being held in Dublin on the 24th of March. Their gracious gifts will be fully utilized to raise as much money as possible to help those on the streets of our cities who find themselves homeless.

Bren Whelan.
Extreme Ireland
Paddy Doyle
Outdoors Ireland
Ian Miller

Many thanks... and I'll post the quiz details when they are confirmed (location & time).
Btw.. we're still looking for prizes.. I think we have the East covered.. apart from Nathan.. I think the West is under represented  

Ambrose.

Due to the generous prizes as sourced on this site we are expecting 40 tables (4-6 people per table) tomorrow night.

Bren Whelan - 2 places on a evening rock climbing intro in Dalkey.
Ian Miller - (3 options) Sea stack climbing for one for two days / two days hiking in Donegal / two days tuition to wards SPA/MPA/MS/ML.

Extreme Ireland - One place on a trip to Slovenia to climb Mt Triglav.
Patrick Doyle - One day rock climbing for a group of 4 in Dalkey.
Outdoors Ireland - Kayaking course for two people.
 
Finally, it would be great if you could make it on the night... and many thanks to Stephen and co for the use of the site to source prizes.
