Get those diaries back out. Â After a couple of months of trying to master WordPress I think I have all this years NI events up on the fixtures list – along with some other major events in Ireland and UK. In the past there has been some criticism of inconsistencies in event details between various websites. Â For this reason I have kept the detail on the LVO website to a minimum for non LVO events, but I have included a link to the originating website within the event details (just click on event in fixture list to see the link).

Final details are now online for Sunday – see link here and see you all at Belvoir for a run on a NEWLY EXTENDED MAP. Also, remember pre-entries close this Sunday for the Armagh Sprint Weekend.  Link here. The weekend is gonna be excellent and I’ve been asked to point out that is suitable for all of us.  Not just the super-speedies.  We can marvel at them at the same time 🙂
Last chance to get your head around Score events before the LVO Champs on the 5th Feb and then the NI Champs on the 11th. 13:30 for a 14:00 start.  Same set up as last time.  A few minutes to plan your route with the map before a mass start, then 45 minutes to get as many as you can. Remember some controls are worth more points than others, but if you’re late back we take some of those hard earned points back.  See you all on Sunday.
