| Mike Long | Feb 10 2019, 11:43am | Dear All it is 2 weeks to the Trooperstown race. Good few volunteers signed up already. Thanks to all of you. We need a laptop operator and a first aid person as well as a few more general volunteers please We can offer you a nice bowl of soup and a sandwich In the Coachhouse afterwards Thanks Mike |
| Mike Long | Feb 15 2019, 4:33pm | Dear ALL It is just over 1 week to Trooperstown. We still need a lap top operator, a first aid person and a few more general volunteers please Thanks Mike |
| Alistair Hodgett | Feb 15 2019, 5:42pm | Mike, I have done assistant laptop so if needed can step up to the laptop operator role....it's still the space bar right? |
| Mike Long | Feb 17 2019, 5:32pm | Alistair That is fantastic. Thanks. Yes my understanding is that the system is the same as last time you would have used it. Thanks again Mike |
| Lillian Deegan | Feb 18 2019, 8:21pm | Hello all, With Trooperstown this coming Sunday, we anticipate a field of 150 runners give or take. I'm on to see can we source a few more helpers for RD Mike. Having 2 or 3 more people to assist on race morning would be really really helpful. Thanks |
| Mike Long | Feb 21 2019, 9:14am | Hello All, Message from Jason on chip timing follows: Mike We will be trialling the chip timing at the Trooperstown race on Sunday. For those of you who registered their chip at Mullaghmeen, there is no need to re-register your chip. For those who intend to register for the first time this year, please read on. For those of you who already have a timing chip from 2018 (or even prior to that), please bring the chip with you to the race. If you don't have a chip, one will be provided at no cost. Please sign-in and register for the race first at the usual sign-on desk and if you haven't collected your 2019 race number, then do so before proceeding to getting your timing chip scanned. When all the registration is done, proceed to the volunteers managing the chip timing and they will scan your chip and assign your 2019 race number to it. Please, please, please ensure that you have your correct 2019 race number when your chip is being scanned. We obviously have to scan all participants but to help us help you, do not come to us with your 2018 race number or any other previous year for that matter. Make sure you have your correct 2019 race number. The timing chip must be attached to one of your runners to ensure that it is read by the mat. Do not put the chip in your jacket pocket or the pocket in your shorts as it will be too far away from the mat to be read, i.e. the chip is useless at that height from the mat and your time will not be recorded. There will be cable ties at the chip timing desk which can be used to secure the timing chip around the laces of your runner. After the race, keep your chip and bring it to all subsequent races that you attend. Provided you do not lose your chip, you will not need to have it re-scanned for the rest of 2019. If you do lose your chip, you will have to pay for a replacement and get that re-scanned at your next race. Wishing you all an enjoyable run on Sunday. |
| Mike Long | Feb 21 2019, 9:21am | Dear All Thanks to all of you for who volunteered to help on Sunday. We should be OK for volunteers now We (volunteers) are meeting 9am at the MR centre in Trooperstown. Note registration is at the MR centre. Please do not park near the centre. Use the main Trooperstown car park. Follow the directions of the parking marshals. The weather for Sunday looks great so come along and enjoy the Spring - but don't forget your jackets. They are still compulsory Mike |
| Lorcan Farrell | Feb 23 2019, 4:02pm | Hi Mike, I'm heading down but won't be running, was thinking of taking some photo's but can chip in volunteering also if needed, just let me know. Happy to do marshal/ summit marshal. |
| Ruairí Long | Feb 23 2019, 5:43pm | Hi Lorcan, I’m deputy RD for tomorrow. I’m sure Mike would agree any help would be greatly appreciated on the day. Do let us know you are there tomorrow so we can see if anything needs to be done. I’m sure a simultaneous photographer/ marshal job would be available. Should be a nice day out there tomorrow. Thanks so much Ruairí |
