Squad weekend

Hi All,

It is hoped that as many squad members as possible can take part in the upcoming senior squad weekend to be held around the Leinster champs (May 8th/9th).

There are 3 events on offer during the weekend including a squad fundraiser for WOC 2010 at Kilbroney park. We are hoping to provide accommodation for all the squad in the area and have a bit of a feed on the Saturday night.

This will also be a good opportunity for the younger members of the squad and those who aspire to the squad to join in and see what senior orienteering is about.
You can get a bit more info at the Carlingford 2 day website

I will keep you updated about the weekend as things progress. Meanwhile keep that weekend free!

Ulster university campus embargo

Following recent discussion regarding the staging of a Mountainbike orienteering event at the University of Ulster campus at Coleraine (venue for the upcoming Irish sprint champs and WOC selection race) – I would like to advise all Irish senior squad members wishing to be considered for WOC selection not to compete at this event as the WOC selectors would consider involvement to be a breach of embargo conditions.

In the interest of fairness all seniors who intend to compete at the Irish champs sprint are advised to consider their involvement in this MTBO event.

However, It must be stated that the organisers of this MTBO event have taken all steps possible to avoid the sprint area in planning their course.

World MTBO champs

This years world MTBO champs are being held in Montalegre, Portugal from the
9th-18th of July. There are four disciplines decided at the World champs - sprint, middle, long and relay. More information about the event can be found here:
