Mayo Radio Rally
The Mayo Radio Experimenters' would like to sincerely
thank the traders and customers who turned up in
Castlebar on Sunday last, for the Mayo Radio Rally.
While numbers were slightly down on last year's record
high, the huge turnout on the day was totally
unexpected given the horrible road and weather
conditions.
The door prize, which was sponsored by the Welcome Inn
Hotel, was won by Mr. Mark Hillary, of Bearvaish,
Rathmuller, Ballymote, Co. Sligo.
There was a great turnout on the Saturday night for the
very entertaining and interesting presentation by
Declan Craig, EI6FR, and the club wishes to thank
Declan and those who attended. The next meeting of the
club is on Wednesday December 2nd. at 9.30pm in the
Welcome Inn Hotel.
