On the 16th September a group from Oughterard Soccer Club headed to Co. Laois to do a fundraising skydive and parachute jump. Here Edward Caine nears the target zone on his return to earth – well done to all. OK so someone had to stay on the ground to take photos!!

On the 2nd September the Ironman returned to Galway and the usual suspects turned out to man the feed station outside Oughterard. There seemed to be more volunteers this year which must have been down to the weather! Last year we and all the competitors were drowned by a deluge this year the weather was beautiful.
