Weir Events is proud to provide event management support for the Great Rugby Cycle Charity Dinner on Thursday 16th April at the Culloden Hotel to support the My Name'5 Doddie foundation which raises funds for vital research into Motor Neurone Disease. 🏉 🏉 Hosted by former British & Irish Lion rugby player and TV broadcaster Martin Bayfield the dinner will be an evening of fine dining, in depth conversations and a few laughs with rugby legends including Scott Hastings, Paul Marshall, Bryan Redpath, Nigel Carr, Rory Lawson and Ollie Phillips. Chief executive of Royal Belfast Golf Club Stuart Thom (second left) has already raised over £50,000 for the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation, set up Scottish rugby legend Doddie Weir, who was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in 2017. He is hoping to raise another £50,000 for the charity which aims to help raise awareness of the disease and funds to find cure, through events in April including a gala dinner for around 400 people at the Culloden Hotel on April 16 which Doddie plans to attend, an 11-day Great Rugby Cycle around Ireland and a sporting legends golf event. To launch the events, Stuart was joined by consultant neurologist and MND expert Jim Morrow, who has given his support to the charity events, former Miss Northern Ireland Tiffany Brien and former rugby player Nigel Carr, who are part of the team who will cycle over 1,000 miles around Ireland
