The Stargazer Lily Foundation 4x4 Challenge has completed, and has been branded a success by it's organiser, John McDevitt.
He'd like to thank any and all that took part during the weekend, and said that the money raised was greatly appreciated and all the beneficiaries were very grateful.
Keep your eyes out for next years event, I am sure it'll only grow from strength to strength!
The annual christmas jaunt around the mountains, aka the Laragh Trophy was a great success. More than 30 members of the club including their spouses joined us in the wicklow heather for a well earned feed (and what a feed that was!) after a long days offroading in the Quarry near Glenmalure. Spot prizes were awarded during the night, and once most lightweights (including your's truly) had gone to bed around 1am, the final few were left to prop up the residents bar, and much to the demise of one or two members, Mintygate (a minty scandal involving creme du menthe, minty himself (coldweather our chairman) nidge ninety, and transit van man aka james!) took hold!
The Crozier Clubmans Championship Has it's Winner!
Our congratulations goes to Billy Byrne in Ballinasloe Co. Galway who was the eventual winner in the inaugural Crozier Clubmans Championship 2008. Billy had scored very well throughout the four stages and emerged as the eventual winner after a long and hard fought battle with everyone else! Our thanks goes to Jonathan Crozier (http://www.crozier4x4.net) who sponsored the event, and helped make it a great couple of days out. Our thanks also goes out to the Clubmans events Organisers, Vince, Dave, Tristan and Kevin for all the hard work, and anyone else who got involved.
After a harrowing couple of days, I'm pleased to say that the site is now more locally hosted. We had around six years of good service from Doteasy (good call, Simon!), but with the site growing all the time, and with their supplied PHP and MySQL implementations getting a bit old, it was time to look elsewhere.
We're now hosted by Hosting365 , who are an Irish company. They're local, so that should make things faster, and we've also got over twice the storage space, so keep the event photos coming..
Everything appears to be up and running so far, but if you spot a problem, please email me.
