Galway Motor Club celebrated the 50th anniversary of its existence this month with a gala function at the Clayton Hotel in Galway. The club was formed in 1960 when the then Cricket club lost its playing field and the members decided to form a Motor Club instead.

Galway Motor Club organise many motorsport events each year including the Galway International Rally, the Galway Summer Rally and the Galway Hillclimbs.

The President of Galway Motor Club, Kieran O’Donoghue welcomed previous Presidents, special guests, former Clerks of the Course from many events and members of the club to their celebrations.
