Carrick Rowing Club

As our annual regatta weekend approaches we received the sad news today of the passing of our long time supporter and friend of Carrick on Shannon Rowing Club Mr. Eamon Cooke RIP, Kells Co. Meath

On Regatta day Eamon would never be far from the finish line watching crews and catching up with friends old and new on the Quays. A poet of note and a gentleman for all who were fortunate to cross his path.

We pass on our condolences to Joanna, Fred, Tim and the extended Cooke family at this time and think also of Tim's wife Mary and the Holt family who have lifetimes of involvement and association with our club.

As we build up to our annual regatta on Sunday, a fabulous photo shared by Portadown Boat Club this morning of a Carrick Regatta winning crew from 1943.

If there are any more old photos from Carrick Regatta or your memories from visiting the club over the years we'd really love to see them so feel free to share them in the comments below. We are redeveloping our club website and have some of our own photos uploaded to that so have a look.

Remember also - this Saturday evening Declan Faughnan will be showcasing a video he has put together mainly about Carrick regatta and the town from the 1950s to the 1990s including old film footage from the 50s 60s and 70s of regatta day in Carrick. This will be a must watch for those from the area or any of our friends from other clubs who have attended Carrick Regatta over the years. The event will take place in the Market Yard beside the Town Clock from approx 6.30pm

Not sure, our modern day crews will look so dapper at Carrick on Shannon Carrick Rowing Club this Sunday 🚣‍♀️

Thanks to Mr Eddie Quinn for dropping off and donating these old photos to the club, they will be hung with pride 😊
