A fantastic night yesterday at the Hotel Parc Belair at the Irish Club's Charity Ball (theme: Hollywood Glamour).

After Club President Carrie Milne welcomed the 90+ attendees and Irish Ambassador Diarmuid O'Leary complimented the club on its achievements, a delicious 3-course buffet meal was consumed by all.

Geoff Thompson assumed the role of auctioneer for the evening and with the help of committee members Fiona Mulhern and Hilary Fitzgibbon, auctioned off 40 items in aid of the Ilula Orphan Program in Tanzania and the Thailand Boat Project, raising more than €4,000 in the process.

The Oscars for Best Female went to Grainne McKean, for Best Male to Mark Summers and for best couple to Peter & Angela Milne. The dance floor then filled up with Radio Daze playing into the small hours of the morning. Thanks to Liz O'Connor too for her event planning.

Finally, John Chalmers and Geoff Thompson both left the event minus their goatees, shaved off in aid of charity by Sam O'Dea. All in a good cause!

Now that summer is over and we are all beavering away back at work, its time to plan winter holidays already. Does a ski trip to France with Luxembourg's Irish Club sound tempting?

The trip will last four days this year, unlike previous years when it was three. A bus will leave Luxembourg on Wednesday 25 January 2012, and return 29 January. The event organisers are quick to point out that as departure is at 1pm on the Wednesday, those who travel will only have to take two and a half days off work for four full days of skiing!

We have decided to take the trip to France rather than Switzerland this year due to the bad euro, Swiss-franc exchange rate, but right to the border! Morzine is the destination meaning that skiers and snowboarders get the best of both worlds by being able to ski in and out of Switzerland.

As the bus has space for 53 people, if you are interested, you are advised to book as soon as possible.

Full ski-trip details:

* Destination - Morzine (France) in the Portes du Soleil.

* Over 650km of ski slopes across 12 ski resorts in France and Switzerland accessible with one ski pass.
