National Road Race and Time Trial Championships

Dear club member.
Following an announcement from the Garda Síochana, the National Road Race and Time Trial Championships event as planned, cannot now take place in the Phoenix Park.

On the weekend of the 23-26 June there will be restricted access to the Phoenix Park due to a major security operation that will be in place. This means that no public events will be granted access to the park. Likewise no other location in the Dublin area could be considered due to Garda resources required for this security operation.

This development comes as a massive disappointment for our club.

The organising committee, as headed up by Stephen O’Shea, are now working around the clock to find an alternate venue. To help us in this regards I would appreciate if club members do not reply to this message, to allow us to focus on matters in hand.

I will keep you posted as events unfold and do appreciate all your support.

Yours

Denis Gleeson, President
Orwell Wheelers Cycling Club
