The Bish Rowing Club is now managing the St. Joseph's 'The Bish' School car park as a fundraising initiative to help replace their ageing fleet of boats. As a school-based club, they rely entirely on community support and fundraising.
Formed in 1932, the club has a proud tradition in Galway, nurturing generations of student rovers. With the growing popularity of rowing among young people, the club hope sto expand access and improve training with updated equipment.
Orla Quigley from Bish Rowing Club joined Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly on the QFinancial.ie Saturday Sports Show to explain more.
The St. Joseph's 'The Bish' School Grounds car park (EIRCODE H91C3X5) is open from 8am-8pm, seven days per week, with parking at just €2.50 per hour. Full day rates are also available and all proceeds go directly to the Bish Rowing Club Boat Fund.
Whether you're in town for the Arts Festival, Galway Races, exploring the city, shopping, or meeting friends for coffee, lunch, or dinner — park with a purpose and support local youth sport!
