David Foster

Ball tribute

Madam,

THE organising committee of The David Foster Injured Riders Fund Ball would like to thank all those who contributed to another great fund raising event.

Firstly, thank you to Horse Sport Ireland for their unwavering support and to our other sponsors; Fernhill Sport Horses for kick starting the night with the champagne reception and Gain Feeds for their continuing support of the Media Awards.

Thank you to all who came on board and took table sponsorships, available for the first time this year.

We would also like to thank all those who so kindly donated auction and raffle prizes – including Berney Bros, Punchestown, Hepburn & Co Dubarry, Kilvahan Horse Drawn Carriages, Showjumping Ireland, Eventing Ireland, Fenu Save, Horseware, Foran Equine Products, Equiform and Sally Corscadden -–your contributions are deeply appreciated.

Thank you also to the irrepressible and consummate professional Brendan McArdle, who kept the night running smoothly, and to Alastair Pim, whose auctioneering skills are priceless!

And finally, a huge thank you to all who came and partied until the early hours, we look forward to welcoming you all again next year!

Yours etc

Emer Hatherwell

(on behalf of The David Foster Injured Riders Fund Ball Committee)
