Congrats to Aoife Hanrahan and David McClure for their amazing achievements recently at the European Championships! Well done!
We want to take a breath and first off thank the local community for helping out with today's river fest in so many ways, and without whom we could not have held the event. Thanks to all that attended, and helped with events/clinics during the day, rescue, sponsors, exhibitors, etc. Finally thanks to our club members for putting in a big effort across the board. 👍👍
Great to see a new local outdoor pursuits shop open in Banagher. Thanks to them for their generous support of our Meelick River Fest this year. They will be attending on the day with some demo electric bikes for people to look at too.![]()
