Starlets & non-Starlets all welcome - get the entries in this week please!

There are Road Works this week between Kilternan and Johnnie Foxes Pub which could involve diversions.

We recommend coming to the event site from the Kilternan side, as it looks as though any road closures will be between Franks place and Johnnie Foxes.

There may be Road Closure signs but local access it to be maintained.

Look forward to seeing you on Wednesday!

IGNORE THE ROAD CLOSED SIGNS AT KILTERNAN END OF BALLYBETAGH ROAD. THERE IS FULL ACCESS TO THE VENUE FROM THERE.
