A boat rally takes place in West Kildare this weekend.

On Easter Saturday afternoon 2-6 a heritage display and talk will be held in Glennon’s Pub in Allenwood.
On Easter Sunday afternoon the fleet will move to Robertstown where events will be held in Weld’s function room (2-6pm).
Members of the public are welcome to drop along to any of the venues.
