Post Race Week

What a wonderful raceweek - kicked off by Hotel Meyrick sponsoring the first race on the Galway's Best Hotels Race day on Monday 26th and then it was all go.

Tommy Bowe and Tracy Piggott were at the hotel catching money in our MEYRICK CASH ENCLOSURE with Paddy Power.

On Tuesday the BUBBLES & DELIGHTS Fashion Soiree was a hit with a fabulous array of summer fashion from Olivia Danielle in Athlone, Squisito in Clarinbridge, Select Boutique, Colette Latchford, Madison and Anthony Ryans, all in Galway City.

Brown Thomas showcased part of their Autumn Winter Collection and their Estee Lauder make up artists were on hand to ensure all the ladies were picture perfect before going to the Races.

Wednesday saw an influx of yet more style with a noticeable increase in the number of hats getting on the buses outside. Amongst them was the lucky winner of the Mark T Burke hat that was especially created for our Fashion Show and also the winner of the beautiful Ebony Cuff donated by Okinara House of Fashion in Moycullen.

Ladies Day was full of colour and laughter with a turnout of over Thursday 44,000 attending the Races, up over 2,000 on the 2009 figure! The MEYRICK CASH ENCLOSURE was a huge success with 7 winners grabbing the €4,000.

Galway Bay FM's Jimmy Norman kept Fagan's Bar buzzing on Thursday and Friday nights with some fun 80's tunes and the Irish Motor Neuron Disease Association got their dancing shoes on and put us all to to shame with the West Coast Big Band.

Sunday was time for the Mad Hatters day at the Races and the families came out in force with alternative hats a plenty. The City stayed buzzing til well after midnight and Monday was filled with hearty breakfast and tired but happy faces waving farewell to Galway .... til the next time ....
