On the 6th of May the members of the Claregalway Youth Club held a cake sale and sponsored walk around Claregalway. The 6 km walk went from the Community Centre in Claregalway around by the Rock Road and back to the Centre again. On their return to the Community Centre the walkers had a feast of cakes which were all made by members of the youth club, and pancakes freshly cooked by David Doyle .
The proceeds of the walk and cake sale went to the Corrib Lions Club and members joined the youth club on their walk. Great fun was had by all who participated and the rain even kept away during the walk. The entire proceeds of the evening amounted to a total of €500. The Lions Club will use this money to fund local charities in the Claregalway and Oranmore area. Gerry Cahill, president of the Corrib Lions Club, thanked the group for their wonderful efforts and he spoke to them saying how impressed he was with the event.
