A Big Thank You to Jon Waterman of Carrig Print Litho Press who gifted us a number of the above badges to remind us to 
Stay Smart Stay Apart 
and to keep the 2m distance.
 Anyone looking for one give me a call or  text. Danny

Please continue to abide by the HSE and Athletics Ireland guidelines and it is wonderful that we can now train in groups of up to fifteen.

The below may be of interest and the West Waterford AC website is always worth keeping an eye on.

Well done to all our members out there who are observing the guidelines of the HSE and Athletics Ireland. It is great to be able to meet up again in groups of four observing the social distancing and have a run and a chat. Remember anyone needing specific training plans etc just give Donie a call.
Please continue to observe the advice given and remember the public are watching us  also ignore what other groups/clubs are doing ( I have seen several on the roads and even on FB ignoring the rules as I am sure you all have) we can get through this and hopefully all race together again soon. Danny

Serious Training Issues Arising During COVID-19

Cork Athletics County Board wishes to express its appreciation and thanks all clubs and individuals - the overwhelming majority - for their co-operation, patience and adherence to HSE and Athletics Ireland guidelines and advice.
We are all hoping that normal club activity and competition can resume as soon as possible. However, the actions of a minority may delay these resumptions.
Since the start of the 'lockdown', the County Board has been aware that a small minority of members have been flouting HSE and AAI guidelines and advice, and undermining the lockdown strategy.
