😕 I’m sorry to report that the Castlewellan Spring Cup event has been postponed – new date to be confirmed. 👍A big thank you Michael Murphy for planning the 4 courses – these will be ready when we can get a full volunteer team together – with the Slieve Croob Champs and the Drumkeeragh NICS, I think we tried to fit in too many events in the South Down area in last few weeks which has overstretched our volunteer workforce.
