Portrush

Godzilla looks as if she is beginning to feel the pace. It is hardlv surprising as she has had to battle against a strong northerly wind on her way into Portrush harbour, before turning for the finishing tine to overall first place in the annual raft race staged during the town's May Fair. Besides the customary good-humoured piracy and imaginative designs and costumes, this year a junior raft race was staged, and while judges sorted out the placings, Strabane Canoe Club gave a demonstration of canoe polo. The RNLl received some £4,500 from sponsors and competitors as a result. photograph by courtesy of Colin Watson.
