Sir, - On holidays in Sligo recently I visited Sligo races on students day. It was amazing, a great crowd, marvellous atmosphere, a great buzz, great racing, a very scenic track. Students so well dressed and so well behaved, everyone having a great time. What a colourful scene and a smile on everyone face - a great advertisement for the young people of the West and also for Sligo races. Well done to all. - Yours etc.,

GERRY DESMOND,
