Thanks to Sean Smyth for posting this photo. It is the first time i have seen this pic. It was taken on the occasion of a swimming gala organised by members of Castlebar Swimming Club under the auspices of the I.A.S.A..
I remember most of the names , They include front row left to right myself(Brķan Hoban)., David Gilligan, (????), Patrick Heraty, (????)
Back row Miockey Guthrie (Snr), Chas Guthrie, Donal (Skinty)Mc Ellin,John Mc Ellin, Iarla Mongey, Joe Touhy, (????), Jimmy Tuohy..
At a guess i would say 3rd right front is Ray Caulfield and last right is Karl Caulfield.

You can see a tent in the background a tent which some of used to rent from Chris Conlon, The Curragh and often spend weeks at Lough Lannagh .

Some of the above were among the first to campaign for a swimming pool in Castlebar and organised a fund raising campaign for the provision of the pool ,which was eventually opened in its present location beside the old Tennis Club.

Photo brings back fond memories of the great times we all enjoyed at Lough Lannagh.
