Clifden Boat Club held its first WIORA offshore yacht race during July, facing a week of heavy weather which ended with warm sunshine and excellent sea conditions.

The Clifden Club did an admirable job under event chairman Paul Ryan, with huge work put in by the Ward family (Jackie, his wife Bernie and son Damian) and Julia Awcock, the club's function organiser, was in evidence each day coordinating the kitchen gang keeping the competitors and visitors fed and watered. Julia looked after the secretarial end of things with Miriam Nugent in the race ofice checking results and certificates. Giles Fraser, the club PRO, liaised with Clifden businesses to ensure they were kept up to speed and the club organisation was evident everywhere in the town with a warm welcome for all the sailors.
