Brian,

This is the insurance excess and it's always been the case for our events. I believe the Insurance levy is what has been waived for this year.

Walked the whole site today to pick out locations for the sections. With so much space available, most sections will be different from last year. Spoiled for choice!

Nice entry coming together for this but we could always do with a few more! This will be a terrific event for beginners and old hands alike.

By the sounds of what Stephen is saying it will be even more varied compared to last year which was a super event.

Co-ordinates for the venue; 53.222661, -6.497848

Coming from Dublin along N81, turn right about 2.6km past Brittas, signs for Kilteel and Tramway Treasures & Gifts.

Stay on that road until you come to the brow of the steep hill, field is on the left.

NO DOGS ALLOWED at venue.

Bring the sun screen!

Many thanks to the organisers and Joe for a superb location and the treat as Mark says.

Whatever about my driving, I was a hell of a lot fitter after the event!

Huge thanks to Stephen and all in TDC for organising a super event on Sunday, couldn't have picked a better day.

Also thanks to Joe for the use of his land and the super location for prizegiving.

Really looking forward to the next one in July!
