    The only one I know of is the Order of Malta but I haven't heard of any other organisations running in Athlone. I have no idea when and where I'm afraid.
    I don't think the Civil Defence are operating in Athlone.

    I can remember a few Athlone people ending up travelling to Ballinasloe for Civil Defence, a strong unit there. The Red Cross or OMAC look like your best bet in Athlone town though.

    Mark Finlay is OC down in Athlone OMAC, you should contact him. Great bunch of people and an active unit. They would cover the likes of electric picnic, oxygen and a few other festivals in the Midlands, as well as the standard GAA/Horse racing/Community Activities.
