SCARR 3RD MARCH

Our cancelled event has been rescheduled to next Sunday 3rd March.  All other details remain the same.  Many thanks to Wicklow National Parks and Coillte for facilitating the change.
We, sadly, have to ask all of those who pre-entered to do so again. Those who didn't bother have a chance to redeem themselves!

If you wish to run the Brown course but find the 1:15 map difficult, you can request, on the pre-entry form, a 1:10 map. This will be printed on both sides with the initial and final controls on the front and the remainder on the back. This option will only be available to pre-entered competitors.

SCARR CANCELLED

We have regretfully had to cancel the planned League event on Scarr. The
roads at Glenmacnass were virtually impassable at 17:30 this evening, and it
was still snowing....

Please could you pass on the message to anyone you know of who may have been
going to the event but is not a member of the email group.

Apologies to all of you who were looking forward to the event.
