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.
It has come to the club's attention that our traditional meeting place is being used by other 4x4 drivers as a playground and, as a result, the picnic area has been ploughed up. We have also been told that rogue drivers have been driving in the river. In order to disassociate ourselves from this behaviour we have decided never to use this area as a meeting place again. Our new meeting place is now going to be the concrete bridge further along the river and this can be accessed by driving straight past the houses after the red sign (where we normally turn left for the iron bridge).
I would like to state, for the record, that CLRI does not permit any of the club members to drive on the grassed picnic area at the iron bridge and does not allow driving in the river.
It has come to the club's attention that non-club drivers have been accessing the forest so we wish to state, for the record, that CLRI only access the forest on organised club events, usually on the last Sunday of the Month with possibly one recce, always on a weekend, during the month. We will therefore only be using the forest a maximum of four times between now and Christmas and any forest visits will be published, in advance, on this web-site.
Any other vehicluar access to the forest is not CLRI activity and can be considered unauthorised, subject to the appropriate actions being taken by Coillte.
