Help Needed

As the race is nearing, we are looking for some members to help with catering on the night. This would mean helping to set up tables, food, tea etc. as well as serving. Bernie Twomey has kindly stepped up to lead this team. All help would be welcomed. Please give your name to Bernie if you can help.

We also need sandwiches (these are badly need as we nearly ran out of them at the last race) and cakes so if you can find time to rustle up anything, that would be fantastic  


WhatsApp “Mac Runner Beans”

We have a “WhatsApp” Group in the club called “MAC Runner Beans“ of which many club members are joined. This was set up by Claire a number of years ago and has grown in popularity since. I am well aware that many people are sick of “WhatsApp Groups” so it is completely voluntary to opt in or out. Currently there are over one hundred members in the group and it is confined to registered club members. It is primarily used as a source of information, communication etc..

 Anyone wishing to opt out can do so themselves at any time but if there is any member wishing to join the group just send me a text with your name etc. to 0872403940 and I will add you to the group.

There is absolutely no obligation to join and all information relevant to the club is carried on the blog..

There are also lots of other  smaller individual groups in the club and this is in no way trying or wishing to replace them.

Loads of Prizes Once Again and Ladies Team 2nd

Another fantastic night in Ballintotis. They really do know how to put on a race and the spread after had to be eaten to be believed. Another great community event.

As a club there we also did great winning lots of prizes. Our Ladies Team came 2nd Eileen Leahy, Siobhan O'Leary, Caroline Geary and Sheila Buckley. This was the first year Ballintotis introduced Team Prizes and this was a super result when you consider the number of ladies teams running. Well done ladies.

Individual results were outstanding also

Mark Walsh 1st O/60, Donie O'Connell 3rd O/70, Ian Kohler 2nd O/75

Siobhan O'Leary 1st O/50, Marian Aherne 2nd O/55, Martha McNamara 2nd O/60

Well done all.

I have the prizes here so please call and collect or collect at training  on Monday evening and if not at training please get someone to collect for you.

Apologies to anyone whose photo I missed.
