Folks, a short thank you message through the link from Club President, David Tansey.

Instead of awarding the traditional club trophies at the Christmas party, this year we're giving things a more formal tone, and will host a separate prize-giving for all sections on Saturday 27th September.

A month ago today, the Giro d'Italia came to Ireland, with the Grande Partenza taking place in Belfast, and a sprint finish in Dublin. Orwell were all over the race, and we've included three tales below - thanks to Aideen Collard, Ivan O'Brien, and Brian McArdle.

Peak Endurance Coaching have offered a discount to Orwell members for their seminar next Thursday - details below!

One of our established members, Lloyd Moore, is doing a cycle from Land's End to John O'Groats - the length of Great Britain! - in aid of the Irish Motor Neuron Disease Association. Read on for details, and how to support him and this very worthy cause!

Calling all Florence Nightingales! If you're interested in learning some first aid, have a read of this.

Update: each evening is actually running from 7pm-10pm, not 6pm-9pm as previously stated.
