A huge, heartfelt welcome to all redheads and friends of the foxies. The year has flown by and we’ve been up to lots of exciting redhead things, like featuring Cork City’s St Patrick’s Day Parade, creating our first music video, taking part in the Redhead Days (Breda, The Netherlands) and of course putting together this gigantic and very exciting programme of redhead and ginger loving madness. We are delighted to be working again this year with our charity partners, the Irish Cancer Society, who rely entirely on voluntary donations to provide cancer care, research and support in Ireland. Please support this worthy cause. As always, an enormous amount of work has been put in behind the scenes by our enthusiastic, creative and dedicated voluntary team, without whom none of this would be possible. Huge gratitude to our partners, sponsors and supporters, whose input has been invaluable. Now it’s time to get the party started, so slap on lots of sunscreen and let’s celebrate our rare & redhead beauty with a weekend you will never forget! We hope you enjoy what we have in store.
