Wicklow Town Location for Sailfest launch

The Wicklow Round Ireland Sail Fest 2010 officially launched the upcoming festival last night in the wicklow town hall.

Attended by many of Wicklow Counties’ finest business people the launch proved a great success.

Sponsored by Conway Media, the Wicklow Round Ireland Sailfest Programme looks very enticing with lots of great family friendly entertainment on the cards!

I personally am looking forward to the Mardi Gras ball- after all how often does one get a superb backdrop like the Wicklow Gaol to party in?

Wicklow Town and County is a great place to live in and visit – whether it be for a day or a month , and this point was referred to again by Roy Conway himself who had great praise for all the hard work that Emily Cox and all the volunteer staff of the sailfest have put into making this event known and well attended.

Wicklow Towns major Irene Winters has also worked hard to help promote the event and has even donated her office space and equipment for the event!

With plans to promote the Wicklow Round Ireland Sailfest using all types of media including and ad campaign on TV3, An Interview with Pat Kenny and Online via ourselves The Wicklow Way Websites, this exciting environmentally friendly outdoor event looks set to be a real community builder, something we here at The Wicklow way of living feel strongly about!

Some of this years Yacht race entrants inc such big names as Daft.ie one of whoms’ member is partaking in the event with the ever so slight disadvantage of being Blind – best of luck to you  Mark Pollack!!

The Wicklow Sailing Club have learnt lots of tips from the success of the Galway Event last year and were given a presentation by those involved which has helped them focus and plan for this Wicklow Event. Go the East Coast!!!

Lastly we would like to send a shoutout to the Blue Dolphin Special Olympics Team who are competing in Limerick between the 9 – 13 June as part of the Eastern Region and we wish all those involved the very best of luck and more importantly a wonderful time and experience.

Well Done to you all!!
