This prestigious event features schools international athletes from the “home” countries in the junior and intermediate categories, both boys and girls.

The first race will be at 12 noon with the final race at 2 p.m.
As always we require the help of our members to assist with the hosting of the event. Course builders will be required from 8 a.m. and then at 11 a.m. if people are in a position to assist with marshalling of the event were available to attend a briefing in the clubhouse and then to be in position at 11.30 p.m. Once the event is concluded if all could assist with the course breakdown and with that in mind all should be finished by 3.30 p.m. at the latest.
In order to plan for the event it is most important that we know who is available and at what times and perhaps you would text 087 9599 888 with your name and time available so that the final plan can be put in place.
As always the club appeals to you to reply early so that all planning can be done well in advance of the event.
