Organisers Una & John take shelter ar St Catherines

Pretty grim conditions for our inaugural event at St Catherine’s Park in Lucan last Sunday – fine putting out the controls, but rain, sleet and snow for the competition itself, so well done to everone who came along, particularly the beavers, cubs, scouts and guides. Thanks to Ger Butler, course planner, and to all the 3ROC stalwarts who came and helped. We had about 150 people on the day, most of them newcomers. The results are on the “Results” page of this website.

This weekend, CNOC continue the Leinster League series at Stradbally, Co. Laois on Sunday. See details here.
