The Skerries 100 celebrates its 70th anniversary this year and we would love it if you could help us make it a bit special. The motor bikes Weekend is less than two weeks away. The crowds now start to come on the Thursday 1st of July continuing right through to raceday on the Saturday 3rd July. And with good weather forecast crowds will be BIG! We have some great live music and entertainment booked to play on the Friday night. We will need help from all our sections of the club to make this weekend work. On Tuesday the 21st June @ 8pm in the clubhouse we would ask as many club members as possible to attend a quick meeting to help plan these days. Don’t worry if you can’t attend but would like to help out, you can contact us through the website or leave your name on our facebook page and we will be in touch. All members are expected to help out over these days so better put your name down for something you like now rather than be allocated something you don’t later. All members of sections including Kids, Their Parents , Adult Ladies and Men’s will be asked to help over the next week. These are great fun days and also our main fund raiser for the year. Please make yourself available for some time over this weekend. In the meantime to get you in the mood for what should be a great weekend take a look at some old archive footage below from 1935 of The Leinster 200 (a forerunner of sorts for The Skerries 100). I wonder how any of our current members where around to witness this 🙂

A group of French children aged 14 -16 years of age will be visiting from Skerries twin town of Guichen in France from 7th-12th July. There are 16 of them in total and the theme of this trip is sport and they are hoping to get involved in as many sports as possible for the duration of their stay. The Hills will be organising an introductory game of cricket for them on Friday morning 8th July.
If any members of the club are in a position to host a child for the duration of the visit please contact Aisling Smith on 087 – 8547125. All activities will be organised for the duration of their stay and host family children can participate. They will have sports activities over the weekend, barbecue and a full day coach excursion to a theme park on 11 July. Might suit a family with a child learning French or interested in France and its a great opportunity to get to make some contacts with our twin town.
Merci Beaucoup!
