4 Peaks Challenge - Focus Ireland

[adagio]

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,
