Clubs on right track with festive fundraiser

From Santa dashes and late-night revelling, to Christmas jumper competitions that even Ryan Tubridy would have had a stuggle to contest, the Racing for Macra night at the dogs was a huge success.

Held at five locations — Cork, Waterford, Limerick, Galway, and Mullingar — last weekend’s fundraiser was designed to support the great work Macra clubs carry out in their local communities, and also to support the work of the national organisation.

The event, which first took place last year as part of The Gathering initiative, was even bigger this year, with clubs pulling out all the stops.
