| Tom Blackburn | May 19 2019, 8:08pm | Hi lads, The world Masters is being held in Italy this September. I am looking to know who is interested in traveling this year. This is a great event and we always bring home some prizes. All you have to do to qualify is to be over 35, it is 3 athletes per team and even if you don't think that you will score on the national team you can still enter and run. Some of these events are great fun and held in fabulous locations so book a few extra days and see the sights. If you are interested please let me know and send on your size if you need shorts and a singlet. These are limited so let me know as soon as possible.If you have any questions please respond. Thank you. |

| Ian Conroy | May 20 2019, 12:41am | Next payday I'll be booking flights and the rest. I'm a small Brian. Back to Italy where all the gold is! |
| Tom Blackburn | May 20 2019, 8:54am | What are the best routes to get there, Brendisi is only 100k from the race, but there are no direct flights. If you know a good route let us know please. |
| Robert Cunningham | May 20 2019, 1:36pm | Tom I'm just going to fly Ryanair Dublin to Bari, hire a car and drive to Gagliano del Capo. 3 hour drive down the coast. Looks the cheapest option. I also have an apartment booked that sleeps 6. Flying out early Friday morning back late Monday night. |
| Bill Barry | May 20 2019, 1:59pm | I’m interested. What exactly do I have to do to qualify? Would love the opportunity to wear the Irish bib. What are the entry costs? |

| Gillian Wasson | May 24 2019, 10:48am | I've done the World Masters 3 times now and it's brilliant - I can highly recommend it! I have my flights and accommodation booked. There are 3 of us coming from NI and running for Ireland. We are flying Belfast to London and then London to Brindisi which seems to be about 1-1.5hrs from the event location. I already have a vest and shorts from previous years but would it be possible to get them for the other two guys? Probably medium for them both. Our details are: Gillian Wasson F40 Mark Alexander M45 Tim Lowry M45 |

| Tom Blackburn | May 27 2019, 9:56am | It would be great to fill out the rest of the teams. So please encourage others to run, the more the merrier. |

| Tom Blackburn | Jul 10 2019, 10:01am | A couple of people have asked me if you have a passport from another country can you run for Ireland. I don't know, I do know that you need your passport when collecting your number. It may be a problem then but it doesn't matter who you run for enjoy the event is what I would say. If anyone knows the rule please let us know. |

| Gillian Wasson | Jul 24 2019, 4:42pm | Hi Jenny, That's good to hear there is another F40 entered. I'm not sure if it is 2 or 3 to count this year? I think they have been fairly strict about passports recently. We have put our entries in and have travel arrangements made. Tom - do I need to contact you directly about kit? Could you let me know your email address? Mine is gillian.wasson@googlemail.com. Thanks, Gillian |

Are others travelling that route/those dates? We are trying to organise transfers from Bari to resort. We would be willing to share car hire with others. Is Santa Maria Di Leuca the best place to stay? Would be nice to stay near others travelling from Ireland, we haven't booked accommodation yet. |
