The Limerick Boat Club organized a band promenade and rowing matches in aid of Garryowen III. The event took place yesterday evening and was a successful and enjoyable reunion. A good crowd gathered on the pier to enjoy the festivities, and the band of the Northumberland Fusiliers played a delightful selection of music.

The rowing matches featured various categories, including pairs, one eight, and two fours. The races were closely contested and provided exciting finishes for the spectators. After the matches, tea was served in the club’s library by a dedicated committee of ladies, who ensured that the catering was tasteful and satisfactory.

Additionally, attendees had the opportunity to enjoy short trips on a steam launch, adding to the overall enjoyment of the event.
