London Irish Vintage Club

24/02/2026

The London Irish Vintage Club extend their heartfelt sympathy to the Collins family on the sad passing of Sean Collins (RIP).

Sean was a valued and long-time supporter of our Vintage Day and proudly took part in the very first Road Run from Westminster in 2011. Both Sean and his late wife, Eileen, were familiar and much-loved faces at our Vintage Days over the years. Their presence, warmth, and continued support meant a great deal to the Vintage Club.

May his gentle soul rest in everlasting peace.

The Claddagh Ring, Hendon was the venue for our 2025 LIVC Cheque Presentation evening which was particularly special in that we surpassed £1M raised for various charities since our start in 2011.

St Luke's Hospice (Kenton), Stamp Out Su***de (SOS), HCPT Group 144 and Air Ambulance Northern Ireland each received £15,000 from the 2025 Charity Vintage Day which was held in September at Tir Chonaill Gaels Grounds, Greenford.

Donations were also made to: The Foyle Hospice - £5000 a charity close to the hearts of two of our committee members, Darragh O'Brien and Michael Hegarty who ran the 2024 London Marathon in support of the Foyle Hillingdon and who are undertaing this event again in 2025.

Hillingdon Austistic Care and Support (HACS) received £2000, the Donegal Hospice received £1000 (In memory of Nora O'Donnell - sister of LIVC member Sheila O'Donnell). SN Dhuma Thuma - £2,000 and Essex and Hertfordshire Air Ambulance - £1,000.

The LIVC committee sincerely thank all who have sponsored, supported or given assistance in any way to the LIVC over the past year.

Thank you to Julia and Nigel Tolak for their assistance with our comprehensive brochure.

Thank you also to our friends at youririshshop.com (Eddie & Maureen O'Kane) for supplying the luxury Irish hampers for our annual hamper giveaway - much appreciated.

Finally, thank you to our LIVC committee who go above and beyond to make our annual event a successful one and who are currently engaged in planning our 2026 event.

We look forward to welcoming you all again in September 2026.
