Woman on the Water Event Cancelled
Skerries Sailing Club Woman on Water event this Saturday (8th June)is cancelled, unfortunately, due to forecasted adverse weather conditions. We hope to rearrange for a date in September. We are very disappointed as are the many people who applied to participate, but we don’t want anybody to have a bad experience – such are the vagaries of an outdoor sport. Contact Cliodhna at 086 852 4628 if you have any questions. We will advise in plenty of time when the rescheduled event will take place.
