Are you ready for a once in a lifetime experience?

In August of 2027, UW Football is playing on an international stage in Dublin, Ireland. To mark this momentous occasion, the alumni are organizing a weeklong trip to the Emerald Isle. The trip will occur August 22nd- 29th, 2027, with the game on the 28th.

We are still in the early planning stages of the vacation. However, if this sounds like something you would like to partake in please fill out the survey here.

Those who commit to the trip will be asked to place an initial deposit to help cover the group costs of lodging and transportation sometime in early 2027. Filling out the above survey does not commit you to the trip and is merely a way for us to gauge interest and start creating an schedule for the week.

Some of the events that have been kicked around as potential activities:

Golf at Old Head
The Temple Bar
Guinness Brewery, Middleton Distillery, and whiskey tours
Trinity College
Cliffs of Moher
Day trips to Cork and Belfast
Booking a medieval castle to stay in

One event that is concrete is us watching the Badgers take on Pittsburgh in person at Aviva Stadium in Dublin on the 28th.

Above all we would like to extend a special thanks to Frances and Alan Scher. Mrs. Scher has graciously volunteered her time and effort to coordinate the trip schedule, lodging, in country transportation and event reservations. Alan has volunteered to be the whiskey taster for the trip.

Actives, spouses, National Reps, and their families/significant others are also welcome to join the adventure.

As the week gets closer, we will be holding regular meetings and briefings concerning the overall plans, what to bring, what NOT TO BRING, and any other matters that may arise.

We already have about 15 people interested/committed. Let's make that number grow and show some Badger/ACACIA pride around the world!

This is truly a once in a lifetime experience to visit a new land, experience a foreign culture and make memories that will last forever!

For those that have questions, please email Chuck Sigmund at coolleo277@gmail.com.
