Thank you to all who helped to make it happen, the hotel, the organisers, the people who donated prizes and the people who attended on the night and who battled it out. Anybody out there who could also organise a table quiz, maybe in a different area??? ...Please contact us if you're able to help.

4 Feb 2006 - A real big thank you to the 2nd year girls of the CSPE class of Coláiste Eoin, secondary school in Hacketstown Co.Carlow and their teacher Sandra Byrne, all of whom went bag-packing in Tesco, Arklow on Saturday 4th Feb in aid of ASH. They were there from 10am to 3pm and raised an amazing 1,013.00 Euro for Ash. Well done girls..... Also thanks to Tesco, Arklow for allowing them to do this.

Is there any school/class out there who would be willing/able to do the same? If so, let us know! Please remember that you have to ask permission from the shop you have in mind well in advance and you need a fairly large group (Sandra went to Arklow with 13 girls).
