* Because of the clash with the national masters' cross-country championships (date only firmed up a few weeks ago), the Winter League race originally scheduled for next Sunday February 5 in Bushy Park will now take place in Dunboyne.
The final race of the league is still scheduled for February 26; venue to be confirmed (Dunboyne was the original venue). We sincely hope to get back to Bushy Park very soon - thanks to the hard work of Sportsworld, we would be the first group permitted to hold a race there.
Note: At last autumn's Winter League meeting, our member clubs criticised the constant changing of dates in previous years. As a result, it was overwhemingly agreed that we wouldn't change dates, even if other races came in on top of us.
