Athlone IWAI in 2014 has had a very successful and busy social calender, celebrating 60 years of the association and had a great turnout for the Annual CiC. To mark the 60th year of both the association and the Athlone IWAI, the branch organised the erection of a brass plaque in Dunrovin, commemorating all the people who had the foresight to form the association.

Members gathered at the plaque in Dunrovin

The plaque was set in granite and was officially unveiled by IWAI president Carmel Meegan. The event was attended by members, family descendants of the original members and local politicians and supporters.Later that night, everyone gathered in Athlone golf club to celebrate the occasion. It was a lively event and we welcomed members from both the Carrick and Dublin branches.

Some of our more glamorous members enjoying the celebrations!
