Saskia & Andrea Olympic Games Fundraising Dinner Friday 20th March

Bid to represent Ireland at 2016 Olympic Games

Two young women, Members of the Royal Irish Yacht Club, Saskia Tidey and Andrea Brewster, are members of the ISA Olympic Squad and are currently seeking to be selected to represent Ireland in the 49er FX Skiff Class at the Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games in 2016, when, for the first time, the all-female Skiff Class will be included in the Games.

For the past while, they have been training in Australia and in Florida and competing internationally in order to acquire the appropriate ranking to represent Ireland at the Olympics.

My name is John Leahy - you may know me from the Thursday Cruising Talks held throughout the winter. I am always casting around for new speakers and new topics. I found this one most interesting and exciting - it is a bit like going back thirty years and being allowed by a guy called Tony Ryan to see the workings of a little Irish airline with two planes - and being told that they are going to beat the world! Laughable at the time. But it came to pass. This company, Exergyn is a bit like that - they are turning waste hot water into electricity! And they tell me they will beat the world. Ten or so Irish graduates have worked on this for three years. It is quite a story. Supper available afterwards €20.00. Book now 2809452 Ext 1.
