Verteran Home International

The Veteran Home International races will be held on 16 and 17 Jun 2012 alongside the Tollymore weekend organised by LVO. If you are a veteran (M/W 35 or over, up to M/W65) and would be interested in making yourself available for selection, please let Philip know via Helen (rdonioa 'at' btinternet.com). Please do not be shy - it will help the selectors hugely if they know who is and isn't available that weekend.

We also are looking for a volunteer TEAM MANAGER. This will involve making sure that all who are selected know all the administrative arrangements for the weekend in plenty of time. During the weekend the Team Manager will be the point of contact for the organisers as well as the team, so a non-running Team Manager is preferred (you can still get a run on the LVO courses!!). If you are willing to help the Irish team produce the best possible showing on home ground, please volunteer your services as soon as possible to Philip (again, via Helen as above). The task is not onerous but is essential if our chosen team is to be able to do its best, so please respond!!
