A contingent of 11 Junior Paddlers and 8 parents had a really enjoyable time at the Paddlefest in Rathdrum in Co.Wicklow over the weekend.
Two days of canoeing, gourmet Bar-B-Que on Saturday followed by Asian cuisine for Sunday lunch were some of the highlights.

Thank you to Colin, our Photographer who captured the paddlers, swimmers, chefs in full swing, the fun and laughter.
