The next Disco Run is happening on Friday August 14th @ 7pm. As you will have seen from the many many posts and comments about Barretstown, this is just an amazing 2 hours.

If you have never been there, we meet up just before 7pm in Ballymore Eustace and convoy the small distance of about 2-3miles to the gates of Barretstown Castle. Once in we line up in front of the castle and wait for the kids to arrive. They are brought down one cabin at a time and once they round the corner and see their transport to the disco their excitement level rockets!!!!! It's infectious and you will be sucked into the fun from the campers as well as the Barretstown gang who make the stay for the kids amazing.

We drive the kids around the grounds and drop them outside their disco. There is always a member of staff with us, some of whom will act as interpreters because many of the children are from all over the world.

I've said it oodles of times, as have those who have come along, "it's an experience you will not forget and will want to repeat".

We have so many members in the Kildare, Wicklow, Dublin, Kilkenny & Laois areas that have never been to one of these Barretstown nights so perhaps this time you'll give it a shot, after all, it lasts no more than 2hrs and is one hell of a way to kick off your weekend. If you want to bring your own kids feel free as they will be entertained with crazy golf or even the Lego room. After we've done our chauffeuring we head into the canteen and can help ourselves to tea, coffee, water and usually something like an ice cream or maybe a snack.

Friday August 14th @ 7pm

Will you be there?

Hi lads. I'd love to come along again if you don't mind a little French flair (this time in the shape of a 4L) Had a ball last time out.

I'm going to do my best to get to this either in the bus or the bug, I've missed too many with the date clashing with other shows.

Its always a great laugh.....

Up to the top for tomorrow night (y)

A shout out to all our members in the Kildare, Laois, Wicklow, Kilkenny, Carlow and Dublin areas..............get your arse and your VWs in gear and head to Barretstown on Friday night > you'll love it and as far as I know it's the last one for the summer period/long evenings. The weather is forecast to be nice and dry so it's a good time to air your pride & joy!

Barretstown is Eircooled's charity of choice and as a club it would be great if we could support it in large numbers but apart from all that, it's a fantastic charity, doing unbelievable work for seriously ill children that we'd hope none of our families would ever have to use but if they did we all agree that that these week long camps are a welcome respite for the families and more importantly for the children themselves.

The last time we were there we were going to present our donation cheque to Barretstown but we decided to hold off until tomorrow night instead. We might also try and get another photo of our line-up in front of the castle.

So, lets see if we can get the numbers up to double digits :D

Bring 'em all Rocky! Don't worry, while you're flying around in the Bus, your family will be entertained in the Lego room or at the crazy golf.
