The first event of Dean Keenan’s Benefit campaign arrived on Saturday 12th November, when the South Beach Hotel in Troon played host to his Benefit Dinner, hosted by comedian Des Clarke. One of the best, and most highly rated, hosts and personalities in Scotland.

A delicious 3 course meal was served before the host took the floor, speeches came from Troon FC Club Secretary Richard Henderson & Troon FC Coach Marty Fraser, an auction was held & then DJ Scott Russell entertained us all until closing.

Your Venue

The South Beach Hotel in Troon is a beautiful hotel in the centre of Troon. A family owned hotel for many years, and a supporter of the club stretching back to the 1980s, they are the perfect place to celebrate Deano & his Troon career.

Drinks will be provided upon arrival on the night, before a succulent 3 course meal will be served to guests in the function suite before the party really begins!
