Next LVO event on April 25th is the Spring Cup 2 Entry to Stormont via Massey Av. Park on Prince William Way. 3 courses – green, orange and yellow. Starts 11.30 – 1.00pm, near Carson statue. Get a run before the Irish Champs!
A number of stiles need to be erected on Slieve Croob for the Irish Championship event and a work party will be constructing them next Friday 17 April. We need a number of volunteers to carry materials to the locations of the stiles and to assist with their construction. It should be pointed out that anyone who takes part may have to declare themselves as non-competitive if they are a championship contender. The party will assemble at the Equestrian Centre on the Slievenisky Road at 10.00am.

A number of our juniors took part in training at Portstewart and Coleraine on the 21 Mar. The day started with training in the sand dunes at Portstewart with a chance to practice contour work in the complex dunes. This was followed by lunch and then some lessons on achieving focus from Philip. Then we headed out again to take part in a number some tricky urban sprint race training around the University of Ulster campus. This was a tricky afternoon with lots of little traps thrown in and the need to pay close attention tot eh control descriptions.
The IntrO activity will be a TempO cluster of 5 kites and 6 decisions, counting towards the TempO Championship. Don’t worry if you’ve missed the previous events, your performance tomorrow will be used to give you a retrospective score for those. The TempO viewpoint is right beside the FootO start boxes so you’ve no excuse for not trying, and it’s FREE!
