Centenary Dinner
UCD Boat Club is delighted to be hosting its Centenary Dinner in the magnificent O’Reilly Hall in UCD on 17th November.
If you are interested in supporting the dinner there are a number of options.
Attend
Boat Club Alumni from around the world are returning to UCD for the dinner and with our current membership also in attendance it should be a fantastic night with the past, present and future of UCD rowing. All alumni, partners and friends of the club are welcome with full event and tickets details available at Eventbrite.
Dress Code
A number of guests have suggested wearing their Colours blazers – while the dress code is black tie you are more than welcome to substitute the jacket for your blazer if you so wish!
Photographer
A photographer will be present on the night so feel free to gather your crews, coaches or any group you like together to make the most of the occasion.
