Stuart ScottJun 24 2019, 3:12pmHi all,

We're just about to finalise the food order for the Connacht Champs bbq. If you haven't already, could you post here or let me know directly if you plan to make it? We don't want to run out :-) There's about 40 people signed up already and the temperature is rising so it should be a good evening! My email is scottst1 A-T gmail Do-T C-om.

Thanks,

Stuart

Stuart ScottJun 25 2019, 11:53amThanks Luke. See you there!
Damien McDonnellJun 27 2019, 11:45amHi Stuart can you but down for camping and all it entails look forward to it thanks
Stuart ScottJun 27 2019, 5:13pmHi Damien. Great, have you on the list now.
Stuart ScottJun 28 2019, 10:53amHi all,

Not long to go now! The food order has gone into the butchers (thanks Rachel for looking after it and the Committee for subsidising it!) and there'll be a few veggie options too. As usual, if everyone could bring something else to the bbq (salad, cake, burger buns etc.) that'd be very much appreciated. There's no obligation though, you'll be more than welcome either way! I've set up a spreadsheet if you want to see what everyone else is bringing and add your own if you can: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1L0l3GmbUTAn4FbUUZRdO5K7GAYXbt_KoMY-JE_TQHsQ/edit?usp=sharing

At the moment, the forecast looks Manky for Mweelrea (last year was definitely a once off!) and clearing up later. We'll aim to start the bbq about 7pm as usual. Just in case it hasn't cleared up, does anyone have a gazebo they could bring?

Looking forward to seeing ye over there!

Dave DochertyJun 28 2019, 12:00pmCan we a group RAN around the campsite?.......It'll be past tents.....
Stuart ScottJun 28 2019, 12:07pmRight, you're banned!
Stuart ScottJul 1 2019, 11:55amThanks everyone for yet another brilliant IMRA weekend! Especially the race directors (Anne-Marie and Eoin), summit marshals, Maike for rescuing the race (as first aid) and all the other helpers. Huge thanks to everyone who bought, brought and cooked (food and wood) and provided the excellent company at the bbq. We had a great turnout and even the weather played ball. Thanks especially to Alice for arranging the campsite and Rachel for buying the meat.

To everyone who didn't go...put it in your diaries now for next year! Weekends don't get much better!

Pádraig DoyleJul 1 2019, 1:53pmLike, craic just seemed to arrive at the beach in the boots of cars as if by magic. A very cool weekend. Thanks to everyone who contributed... there were a few great cooks along the way but a special thanks to Damien who seemed to do an almighty stint on the BBQ - those monks are blessed ;-)

Can't wait for next year.

Conor O'FarrellJul 1 2019, 5:06pmWhat an absolutely cracking weekend! Thanks a million to Stuart, Rachel, and Alice for organising everything. Also a big thanks to Anne-Marie, Eoin and their race teams. A two-day running festival with some heavy partying in between races is something to behold.

Roll on next year!
