Memorial dinner dance to rejoice the ‘Large Man from Drumboe’ Martin Griffin

Family and friends of the late Martin Griffin are invited to return collectively this November to honour the reminiscence of a real Donegal GAA legend.

The Martin Griffin Memorial Dinner Dance takes place on Friday third November at Jackson’s Lodge Ballybofey.

It will likely be an evening of nostalgia remembering Martin (Large Griff), who was a powerhouse participant for Donegal and Sean Mac Cumhaills from the 70s by way of to the 90s.

The dinner dance marks the second anniversary of Martin’s sudden loss of life on the age of 67. To rejoice his legacy, his household has organised an evening of excellent occasions that he would have little doubt liked to attend himself.

Friends will likely be handled to a drinks reception, dinner and a night of dancing to The Beafsteak Dances. The gifted Pat McClean will carry out his track ‘Large Man from Dumboe’ and launch a CD of the monitor that celebrates one among Donegal’s finest gamers. You’ll be able to hearken to the splendidly crafted tune right here.

Funds raised from the occasion will go to the Martin Griffin Fund launched by Martin’s daughters, Anne Marie and Donna, to help younger folks within the Twin Cities by way of sports activities or schooling help. There will likely be a raffle with some improbable prizes and donations will likely be gratefully accepted on the evening.

Restricted tickets can be found for the dinner dance, so be sure to get yours early. Tickets are €50 and obtainable from Jackson’s Lodge or by messaging the Martin Griffin Fund Fb web page (click on right here).
