Class Clowns: St Ronan’s to host comedy night fundraiser at Seagoe Hotel

Comedians William Thompson, Aaron Butler and Johnny Bow take to the stage this October

St Ronan's College Fundraising evening

St. Ronan’s College Foundation is excited to announce a comedy night fundraiser, set to take place on Saturday, October 5 at the Seagoe Hotel in Portadown, as part of the Lurgan college’s on-going efforts to raise funds to support its multi-million pound capital build project.

Promising an evening of laughter and entertainment, the comedy night will be compered by one of Northern Ireland’s funniest voices, the quick-witted stand-up and podcast presenter William Thompson. Joining him are two regulars on the local comedy circuit, Aaron Butler and Johnny Bow.

Proceeds from the event will support the continued development of the new St. Ronan’s College campus, located on a large 36-acre site at Cornakinnegar Road, Lurgan.

Featuring a 20,000m2 building comprising three storeys and extensive outdoor sports provision, the new campus represents a capital investment in excess of £30 million and will accommodate upwards of 1,750 pupils when it opens.

St Ronan’s College Principal Fiona Kane said: “This event is a great way to kickstart the new term for us, the extended college family, and the wider community. It promises to be a fun-filled night and it brings renewed energy to our fundraising efforts after the summer break as we continue to work towards the opening of our new state-of-the-art campus. Every day, great progress is being made on the school and its facilities.

“The proceeds from this event will make a significant contribution to the resources available to all our pupils and the on-going development journey as we bring our vision for the campus to life. On behalf of everyone working in the college and our governors, I would like to pay tribute to the St Ronan’s College Foundation for their on-going hard work and much valued support of our school.”
