Does James Bond ever go out of fashion? Certainly he's hot stuff at the moment and the Central Remedial Clinic is cleverly seizing the Zeitgeist and holding a Casino Royale fundraiser at the Herbert Park Hotel next Friday. There will be cigars and martinis (shaken or stirred isn't specified), blackjack and roulette, raffles, auctions, and a late-night supper.
By the sounds of it, the events committee, which is headed up by Geraldine Kennedy of Sheelin Homes, and includes Naomi Kid- ney, Sharon Smurfit, Fiona Naughton and John Corless, is going to make if fairly difficult for you to spend money. Once you've bought your ticket you will be issued with fun dollars to spend - if you still haven't managed to lose them all by the end of the night, well, they're also valid for the auction. For tickets, call the CRC at freephone 1800 612 612 or 018332206.
