Trip To Ireland Was Superb!!!

Vale Royal AC ventured across the Irish Sea to visit Carlingford Outward Bound Centre in Southern Ireland, whilst 13 members of the club were in London for the 25th anniversary of the race.

The trip to Ireland was organised by Shaun McGrath and this was appreciated greatly by all the coaches and athletes who attended the beautiful surroundings of the harbour and rural buildings along with the stunning views of the mountains across the bay.

The athletes fully enjoyed the activities provided by the centre such as archery, orienteering, Jacobs ladder, assault course, mental agility games, high wire leap of faith, plus the night line activity.  Despite the extremely wet weather on the Sunday the athletes participated in the outdoor activities with vigour and positive attitudes. 

Whilst over there a link was made with Newry Athletic Club who very kindly took time out on a Saturday evening to come and see us at the centre where a game of volleyball was played between mixed teams plus photos and the nightline activity.

This proved to be a great way to finish off the Saturday evening and left everyone in great spirits with lots of good natured banter between the groups.  Vale Royal Athletic Club is pleased to announce that Newry Athletic Club will be visiting our shores in August 2005 and the gesture will be returned by VRAC.
