Fashion event to raise €10k for dedicated care centre

Trim Castle Hotel will play host to Springkle Fashion Show 2011, in aid of the Down's Syndrome Centre, on Thursday 10th March. Kicking off at 7.30pm with a drinks reception, guests will be dazzled to a catwalk of sizzling style from local boutiques, including Ribbon Rouge, Ollie & Mac and Picabia from Navan; Ebony, Impressions, Diaz, Nina's, CJ Murtagh's, Pat O'Byrne Menswear and Stiletto Shoe Boutique from Trim, as well as Asta Fashions, Athboy.  Lynda O'Brien of Trim Castle Hotel said: “Everyone in the community has really pulled together to make sure it's going to be a fantastic night, with boutiques providing the clothes; local businesses providing raffle and spot prizes, and James Allen Hair Design doing hair and make-up on the night. My own staff in Trim Castle are also kindly donating their time, free of charge, to ensure the event is a success.†Tickets for the show are €25, which includes a pre-show drinks reception, interval entertainment courtesy of jazz singer Eileen Kennedy, and spot prizes and raffle prizes galore. Trim Castle Hotel is also offering a number of packages on the night, including a four-course dinner in Jules Restaurant and ticket for €50pp, and an overnight package including ticket, dinner and breakfast for €79pp. Together with income from the ticket price and proceeds from the raffle, the Springkle Fashion Show hopes to raise €10,000 for Down's Syndrome Centre, a charity working to provide improved information and services for parents whose child is born with this intellectual disability. Tickets for the show can be purchased from Trim Castle Hotel, participating boutiques, and through the Down's Syndrome Centre's online shop www.downsyndromecentre.ie
