[Kintyre Forum News]

South Kintyre Sports Council in conjunction with Mull of Kintyre Half Marathon and 10k have agreed to run a dance/ceilidh style after race party in the Victoria Hall on the evening of Sunday 27th May.

Starting at 8pm and will feature music from the ever popular local group Wee Toon Tellers and a special slot from World Champion and Scottish Band of the Year, Kintyre Schools Pipe Band (always something special!). The Sports Council have also approached another local group and will update as soon as possible.

The evening promises to be a great night but there are only 350 tickets.

Tickets are available for runners at £8 each. Up to 1 additional ticket can be bought by each runner at £10 each.

A spokesman from the MOKRUN committee said "We have identified that there is high demand for tickets for the evening event and in the first instance tickets are only available to those competing in the race. Each runner can purchase 1 ticket each at £8 and 1 additional ticket for a non runner at £10."

Those already registered and wishing to purchase tickets should contact Tom Barbour at tombarbour@hotmail.com who will confirm that you are a registered runner and advise on how payment for tickets should be made.

Those registering for the run and wishing tickets for this event should submit an additional cheque with your entry form for 1 or 2 tickets (£8 or £18 ) and made payable to South Kintyre Sports Council.

All proceeds on the evening will go towards the Sports Council money Bus Appeal with the Sports Council donating £1000 to the MOKRUN event to help cover their costs.

A spokesperson for the Sports Council said "We are absolutely delighted the MOKRUN committee has allowed the Sports Council to organise the dance and raise money for our mini bus appeal. We are thrilled at working with the MOKRUN committee and we hope this strengthens our support for this wonderful event!" With regards tickets for the dance he added "We may decide to arrange for runners to collect tickets on the day - as the Sports Council are heavily involved in other projects at the moment.
