Irish revellers bidding to dance
to world record tune
PARTY revellers in Ireland are hoping to dance their way into the Guinness
Book of Records.
The group will dance constantly for up to 60 hours over the October Bank
Holiday weekend in Wexford in an effort to raise money for the Irish Cancer
Society and Our Lady’s Hospital for Sick Children in Crumlin.
The drive involves Unique Events Ltd and as many participants as possible
from across the country. The organisers are hopeful they will manage to
shatter the Guinness World Record for the Longest Dance Party Marathon
on the weekend of October 27-29.
“In the hope of raising funds for the Irish Cancer Society and Our
Lady’s Hospital for Children, Crumlin, dancers from all over the
country will gather on the quay front of Wexford town,” said one
of the event’s organisers.
“The challenge will consist of volunteers dancing for more than
52 hours and three minutes, which is the current record held in Cleveland,
Ohio. Unique Events Ltd will be rallying volunteers to complete the record
breaking attempt in approximately 60 hours to ensure the record for the
Longest Dance Party Marathon is retained in Ireland for as long as possible”.
Donations will also be collected in the run-up to the attempt and during
the three-day event in the form of sponsorship cards, collection points
and direct donations given through the Unique Events Ltd.
Fifteen DJs will supply a constant stream of music with everything from
current chart hits to the golden oldies. Catering, refreshments, toilet
facilities, medical staff and security personnel will also be present.
Sponsorship cards and further information are available from Vickie Dunne,
Unique Events Ltd, 20 Mount Prospect, Clonard, Wexford. Telephone/fax
