CHANGE OF VENUE FOR SUNDAYS SCORE EVENT!!

Posted onAuthorJeff JohnstonLeave a comment

Due to road closures on Sunday (21st june) we have moved the venue for the club score event this weekend. It will now be held on the mapped open area to the south of Tollymore forest. (not at Meelmore) The plan is to meet/gather and register at Tollymore where some will be camping as part of the club festival weekend. There will then be a walk to the competition area (probably taking 20 – 30 minutes) from where the score event will take place. As it is quite a long drag upto the area we will probably set the time Read More …

Missing Water Barrel

Posted onAuthorPhilip BaxterLeave a comment

Appeal for help! Does anyone know the whereabouts of the club water barrel (the one with a tap) which cannot be found in Kilwee or in the MOO? Its last known whereabouts were (we think!) at Donard for Spring Cup 3. If you know where the barrel is hiding out, please let Helen or Philip know. No reward – only the thanks of thirsty club members following their runs (especially if this good weather continues). Don’t forget – the next WEE will be in Castle Gardens, Antrim, on Wed 17th June. This lovely park is well worth the trip so Read More …

Control Description Challenge

Posted onAuthorAlan ElwoodLeave a comment

The juniors took part in training at Botanic Park and QUB on the 31 May. There were 3 urban sprint courses on offer but with a difference. Although the courses had control descriptions the control code (101, 102 etc) had been removed. To add to the confusion a number of the controls were located very close together – for example either side of a hedge or west and east of a wall or fence. This meant that the athletes had to read the control description very accurately before punching the control. When they got back to the finish they were Read More …
