Eglinton Ladies Play Their Part in Making the Volvo Boat Race A Success for Galway!

Female residents of the Eglinton played their part in laying the groundwork for the success of the round-the-world Volvo Boat Race's stay in Galway. This is the first time that this famous race came to Ireland and most of the people in Galway seemed to be involved in some way in supporting this event .
The Eglinton ladies helped clear refuse from the beaches of Salthill on the Sunday before the yachts arrival from Boston as part of a major clean-up of 7 local beaches coordinated by Atlantaquaria, Ireland's National Aquarium of Ireland.
Over 80 volunteers from all walks of life turned up to pick up debris.
