As many of you know MAD are no longer hosting  Rnd. 7 on June 26, that leaves MBUL hosting the last race a whole month after our round 6, hopefully this race can be brought forward so there isn't a month gap to the last race, I reckon it will suffer numbers wise if this gaps exists. I've emailed the commission asking if they would consider moving the MBUL race into the MAD slot.

Just to confirm we have not agreed to move our open race, the date on Irish XC is provisional.  So don't book any B&Bs yet.

[Dave O Shea]

Cheers Fergal that's looks a good way to rearrange...best not to leave the last rd down the country as numbers might suffer !

[Fergal]

I wonder if you guys will make it 2 years in a row for the massive attendance?
- no reason why not - though I'm only attending to drive around the slanty field and fall out of the car sideways when I open the door, ye better have the slanty field now...
there'll be vicious competition in 2011 in every category, I think it'll be a great fight all the way to the very last lap of the very last round ....

Ah its good to see all the hard work trail building was wasted on you Fergal...all we had to do put some tape in the field and you'd have been happy 

[Steve]

[Fergal]

yeah Paul, never mind all that hardcore and singletrack lark, the bumpy grass is where it's at!  heh heh!

Steve
