Gráine Mhaol Dragon Boat Shop
The Gráine Mhaol Dragon Boat Shop will be open the season (no closing date as of yet). All items can be ordered online with a quick turnaround of within 2 weeks. Audrey has a set of size 12 in the new items if anyone would like to try them on. Audrey describes the sizing as ‘true to size,’. The colours are bright and vibrant, all in our club colours across the tee, vest, singlet and technical top — and the quality is really lovely. …….Happy shopping!
NOTE: The bespoke items, pullover hoodie, full zip Hoodie and red bobble hat will be available to order for a period of two weeks only and on a separate link from Feb 23rd after our AGM.
The adult sizes (small/ medium/ large etc) are for males. The sizes (10, 12, 14 etc) have a slight female cut which looks great.
Audrey will bring the new items to the AGM for members to check out. Any other questions, shoot her a Whatsapp.
Well done to Audrey for all her hard work and McKVR’S Tommy O’Reilly and their Sales Account Manager Lindsay.

A Night to Remember – Mayo Dragons Celebrate 10 Years
On Saturday, July 12th, Graine Mhaol Dragon Boat Club proudly marked its 10th anniversary with a fantastic celebration at Castlebar Tennis Club. The evening was filled with fun and plenty of nostalgia as past and present members gathered to toast a decade of paddling, camaraderie and community spirit.
Councillor Michael Kilcoyne and his wife attended the evening and joined in the celebrations.
The event featured a Prosecco drinks reception, delicious food, a special club presentation, and lively music that kept the celebrations going. It was a wonderful chance to reconnect, reflect and celebrate how far the club has come — especially with this year marking the highest number of members in the club’s history.
We also took time earlier in the day to honour the occasion out on the water — and the weather was divine – great for taking photos.
A huge thank you to Frank Fullard for capturing both the evening’s festivities and the morning paddle. The photos will give us lasting memories of a very special day.

A huge thanks to the amazing organisers and Yvonne Kilcullen Events who helped make this celebration such a success — there are too many to name, but your hard work is appreciated.
Here’s to the next 10 years of dragon boating, friendships and milestones!

We would like to extend our thanks to Councillor Blackie Gavin and Councillor Harry Barrett for their recent generous donations to the Gráine Mhaol Dragon Boat Club. Your continued support means so much to our members and plays a vital role in helping our club grow and thrive.
This year, we are proud to have welcomed the highest number of members in our club’s history. While this is an exciting milestone, it also brings additional running costs. Support from our local Councillors is more important than ever in ensuring we can provide a safe, inclusive, and empowering experience for all who paddle with us.
Thank you once again from all of us at Gráine Mhaol Dragon Boat Club!
