As a mark of respect recognizing the loss of our Club President Gerry Buckley RIP, the club will remain closed tomorrow Tuesday 11th July.
On a separate matter during the Championships next Fri/Sat/Sun, we each have an opportunity to commemorate Gerry’s passing ourselves with the wearing of a black ribbon for Athletes on their racing kit. The Committee are making the necessary arrangements to provide us with the ribbons. This will be a fitting gesture to the family of a club stalwart and to mark his passing.
