On the 13th Jan 2008, Cycling Ireland plans to run an Off Road Commissaires course, hopefully in the Dublin area.  Would any of MAD or IMBRC be interested.  Even if we could get one from each Club. Ask a few of your folk.
Many thanks,
Andy

Yea would be great for the club to have its own commisaire, especially for running our events, such as xc, xcm, dh and cx races for next year.
