What about afterwards? Any chance of a cuppa tea and a bun?
Well, you mustn’t have heard of Tuam AC’s legendary “hospitality tent” (OK, it’s more of a hospitality hall actually). Anyways, as well as providing hot showers, one of the things we pride ourselves on in Tuam AC is that after the race, there will be tea, coffee, cake, buns and snacks.
