9 MAN TOWN LEFT TO RUE MISSED CHANCES

“" We've got to be better than that..."” Manager Lee Ashcroft

Longridge suffered their 2nd League defeat of the season away at Coppull having missed chance after chance, and having given away 3 very poor goals in a 3-2 defeat.

The game finished 10 v 9 as both George Melling and Jordan Tucker were sent off in time added on by the Referee.

Barwick-in-Elmet Maypole Raising 2011 by Rick Harrison

Not sure given the white shoes and fancy jeans he was really planning on helping fill in the hole around the maypole ;-)

----------------

Photos from the 2011 raising of the maypole in Barwick-in-Elmet, Leeds.

The maypole in this pretty little village just off the A64 towards York, is the tallest traditionally-maintained Maypole in the UK, standing a massive 86 feet tall, and weighing 1.2 tonnes. Every 3 years the maypole is taken down and refurbished, before (as these photos show) being erected again to much pomp and ceremony.

Given the weight, many volunteers are required to carry the maypole a short distance from Hall Tower Field to it's final resting place at the end of Main Street.

Until relatively recently, the traditional way of raising the maypole required many ladders and ropes being used to upend the pole (slightly sadly now, a crane is used - a lot easier and possibly the only way to meet health-and-safety). You can see video of the old method on the Yorkshire Film Archive.

The official website for the maypole with lots of interesting history is here.

Whyalla South Australia. The current steel works. by denisbin

3

Whyalla. Population 21,200.

Hummock Hill was sighted and named by Matthew Flinders in 1802 and soon after given French names by Captain Baudin. The first pastoral runs were taken out here in the 1850s as it had the Middle Back ranges, coastal access and Port Augusta not too far distant. One of the early pastoralists was James Patterson who took out the Iron Knob leasehold of over 160 square miles in 1854 near Iron Knob. To the north and west of his leasehold was that of James Loudon who took out Caroona station in 1862. Other leaseholds in the region of Whyalla were Point Lowly, Pandurra and Middleback. In the early 1870s Loudon sold Caroona to Sir Samuel Davenport and Sir John Morphett and it was Davenport, with his interest in minerals and mining, who sent the first ore samples to England in 1878 for analysis. This resulted in a mining lease taken out in 1880 by Ernest Siekman. The lease lapsed as he did not pay the annual rental. BHP took out nine mining leases in 1896 and the future of iron Knob and the future Whyalla began. BHP began taking iron ore for smelting to Port Augusta in 1899 which took bullock drays two days. The Hundred of Randell which covered this area was declared in 1895 as interest in the ore deposits increased.

In 1896 the government released land fronting Spencers Gulf for lease. One of the first to take up land where Whyalla stands was Humphrey Cowled who leased 30,000 acres on the gulf which he called Nonowie. The town of Hummock Hill emerged in 1900 after BHP developed their ore leases. The ore was used for flux in the Port Pirie smelter and it was shipped across Spencers Gulf. Most of the early settler families at Hummock Hill also came by ship across the gulf from Port Pirie. These families remained the backbone of the Whyalla population until World War Two. In 1900 BHP proposed to the government of SA to enact a bill that would allow them to build a tramway from Iron Knob to Hummock Hill on the coast with a permanent leasehold of the route. Port Augusta Council opposed this as they wanted the tramway built to Port Augusta and its already existing port. There was some logic in this opposition as a tramway to Port Augusta would be 46 miles in length whereas the tramway to Hummock Hill was about 35 miles, not a significantly shorter distance. The government enacted legislation for a BHP tramway to Hummock Hill in 1901 and BHP had developed a small jetty and port by 1903. At the same time the town of Hummock Hill emerged partly on BHP leasehold land. By 1905 the settlement had its first school, a general store and a tin Institute in which the school was conducted. Church services were also held in the hall. In 1903 the community was pleased when Mr Delprat, the general manager of the Broken Hill mine visited Hummock Hill and Iron Knob. The first hotel opened in 1905 on the site that later became the Whyalla Hotel 20 or so years later. The beer was shipped to the hotel from Port Pirie. The isolation of Hummock Hill was reduced when a telephone service began in 1911. Gradually stone houses replaced early tin and timber houses and the town took shape. The government officially surveyed and changed the name of the town to Whyalla in 1914 which means “sound of the sea” in a local Aboriginal language. The new solid Institute was opened in 1920 by Mr Delprat the BHP manager in Broken Hill. At the time Whyalla had a population of around 1,000 people with sporting clubs, RSL, banks, and commercial enterprises. Water was shipped from Port Pirie when necessary. BHP established a dairy to provide milk for the residents and a small desalination plant was built to provide additional fresh water. The impressive red ironstone buildings, often in the Art Deco style were erected in the late 1930s or early 1940s as the city’s industrial base expanded to steel making and ship building. The iron stone Whyalla Hotel opened in 1933. It was enlarged in 1940. This was a company town run by BHP with the exception of the Post Office, the School and the Police Station run by the government and the commercial enterprises of the town. BHP was a paternalistic employer and during the Depression of the 1930s as work slowed BHP found other jobs for married male employees such as re grading the tramway from Iron Knob etc.

During World War One Mr Delprat had suggested a steel furnace and steel works in Whyalla but this did not happen. The steel industry in Australia began with a small furnace and plant at Lithgow in the Blue Mountains in 1901. This plant was superseded by the bigger steel works in Newcastle in 1915 and Whyalla jetty was then expanded to ship iron ore direct to Newcastle. The third steel plant in Australia was established at Port Kembla (Wollongong) in 1928 and Iron Knob ore was also shipped there. With the rise of Hitler and Third Reich in Europe in 1933 and the ominous threat of world war Australia began to be concerned about its future as it was clear we were no longer isolated from the rest of the world. In 1937 the SA government passed legislation for the Morgan to Whyalla Murray River water pipeline to ensure water reliability for Whyalla and this was an essential for the first production of steel by BHP. The 1937 act set aside 1,000 acres for BHP to establish the plant and adjacent harbour. Progress was not hasty and the furnace and harbour began in 1939. After the outbreak of World War Two work progressed quickly. The first steel was produced in 1941 and called pig iron. Port Kembla also produced pig iron or steel and its export to Japan in 1938 led to the Attorney General Robert Menzies being called Pig Iron Bob by striking wharf unionists. The union slogan at the time was “No scrap for the Jap.” At that time Japan was fighting the Sino-Japanese War and needed more steel. The industrial dispute at Port Kembla ended in January 1939 when the waterside workers loaded the ships at Port Kembla. In 1940 the Royal Australia Navy asked BHP if they could build ships in Whyalla and this became urgent with the war and work began in 1940 on the hulls of several ships before the steel blast furnace was completed. The town grew rapidly with an influx of new workers and the construction of the hospital, an abattoirs, the Spencer Hotel, and the establishment of a Whyalla newspaper in 1941/42. During the War the population rose from 1,350 in 1937 to 7,900 in 1944. During most of World War Two BHP employed around 2,500 men and women with a peak of 2,750 employees in 1941. During the War BHP also established an ammunitions annex to produce shells for war arms. In a couple of years Whyalla produced 748,000 shell cases. The Combined Unions Council negotiated with BHP for workers’ wages and conditions. The newly employed women to offset the war time labour shortage were employed in the war effort in the shell annex, the tool room and in ship building. The women received 90% of the men’s wages for the same job.

The first ship was launched in 1941 and named the HMAS Whyalla (650 tonnes) which is now part of the Information Centre and Maritime Museum. It was one of four corvettes made in Whyalla for the Royal Australia Navy and they mainly worked as minesweepers and surveillance. During and after World War Two Whyalla built 36 ships for the Australian Navy, four for Indian navy and 20 for the British Admiralty. After the War most of the ships built in Whyalla shipyards were mainly cargo and iron ore carriers. A total of 63 ships, one oil rig and two barges were built in Whyalla by 1978 when shipbuilding was closed down. Most of the corvettes manufactured in Whyalla had South Australian town names- Whyalla, Gawler and Pirie. Whyalla also built the Kalgoorlie corvette for the Royal Navy. Other SA named corvettes built interstate were the Kapunda, the Glenelg and the Wallaroo. After the war BHP built commercial ships and eventually in 1958 they decided to build an integrated steel works in Whyalla (completed 1965) to process the ore into steel. Railway lines and ships were among the steel products produced.

As a shipbuilding site and producer of ammunition shells Whyalla needed special consideration and defence during World War Two. Defence installations were erected on Hummock Hill during the Second World War (1942) as Whyalla was a potential Japanese bombing target. Four anti-aircraft guns were on the ready at Hummock Hill. Other defence installations were built south of Cowell at Port Gibbon to forewarn of a Japanese attack. Complacency about war threats was overturned when German shipping mines were discovered in Spencers Gulf in 1940 designed to impede BHP ore carriers to Newcastle and Wollongong. Across the Gulf Port Pirie produced half of Britain’s lead so it too needed special protection. A survey recommended special defences for both Iron Triangle cities but only Whyalla got special protection. As the threat of Japan increased anti-aircraft guns were sent to Hummock Hill and arrived on 4 February 1942. Ten days later (14 th February) Singapore fell to the Japanese and on 19th February 1942 Darwin was bombed and partially destroyed by the Japanese. The hummock Hill anti-aircraft guns were operational by 23rd March. One Royal Navy ship guarded the entrance to Whyalla for most of the War until 1944. Search lights were installed at Hummock Hill late in 1942. But no threat emerged during the War. Air raid practices were conducted by BHP from time to time warning people to take cover when the BHP siren sounded. Despite the practices and preparations no raid occurred but the need for precaution was not unfounded. Three of BHP’s merchant ships were sunk off the coast of NSW on their way to or from Whyalla with a total loss of 85 lives. By early 1944 Australia’s home defences were known to be out of danger but gunners at Whyalla had been withdrawn in August 1943 and their tasks taken over by civilian defence.

By 1943 Whyalla had a population of 5,000 people and people began to query the lack of local government as the city was run by BHP. Local government was instituted in 1944 with three elected and three BHP appointed councillors. 1944 was also the year the Morgan to Whyalla water pipeline was completed. In 1960 Whyalla became a city as it had around 14,000 residents. The Commission system of local government was ended in 1970 when locals could finally elect all councillors to their city. By 1976 Whyalla had 33,000 residents, the largest city outside of Adelaide but with the loss of shipbuilding in 1978 the city’s population declined to about 20,000. BHP sold their Whyalla works to OneSteel in 2000 which changed its name to Arrium. Sanjeev Gupta bought the insolvent Arrium steelworks in 2017 and has revitalised it albeit with recent difficulties. The Whyalla steel works are critical to the whole of Australia as steel is only made at Whyalla and Port Kembla. Whyalla is the only plant to make steel rail for all sorts of uses not just railways. In late 2024 Whyalla steel works employed 4,800 people directly and countless more indirectly in other firms. (Port Kembla employs around 3,000 people.) Perhaps the future of the city will be revitalised even more if the hydrogen hub proceeds. Whether that happens or not billions of dollars of investment are needed to move Whyalla steel works away from coal fired furnaces to gas or hydrogen fired furnaces. On the way to Hummock Hill lookout in Gay St. we pass the Whyalla Institute with a classical façade with the date as 1920. This was also the site of the first timber Institute opened in February 1905. The first Whyalla School opened in this Institute in April 1905.The current port of Whyalla exports iron ore and steel mainly. Port Bonython 16 kms north of Whyalla mainly exports crude oil and liquid gas from South Australia’s Cooper basin.

reinhold_120103-9 by Andreas Reinhold

I was given a Rolleimarin set by a former employee of Rollei. It includes several accessories and bags. It's in good condition, but I can't guarantee that it is complete or working. The serial number is 2949. As far as I know, there were 4 different versions of the Rolleimarin available but I don't know, which version this one is exactly (or for which Rollei camera). Because I'm neither a diver, nor a collector, I would like to sell this kit. The Rolleimarin became famous through the spectacular underwater pictures of Hans Hass.

de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Hass

Any question (or hint about the exact version) is welcome:

www.andreasreinhold.com/rolleimarin/

Mir wurde ein Set einer Rolleimarin überlassen (von einem ehem. Mitarbeiter in der Rollei Entwicklungsabteilung). Es beinhaltet 2 Blitze und diverses Zubehör, sowie die passenden Segeltuchtaschen. Es befindet sich in sehr gutem Zustand, jedoch kann ich keiner Garantie für fehlende Teile oder fehlerhafte Funktion übernehmen. Die Serien-Nr. des Sets ist 2949. Soweit mir bekannt, gab es 4 Versionen des Rolleimarin, um welche Version es sich hier handelt und für welche Rollei Kamera es exakt passt, ist mir nicht bekannt. Da ich weder Taucher noch ein Sammler bin, möchte ich dieses Set gerne verkaufen. Bekannt ist das Rolleimarin durch die spektakulären Unterwasseraufnahmen von Hans Hass.

Longwood 5KM and 10KM Races 2017 by Peter Mooney

This is a photograph from both of the races in the 8th annual Longwood Village 10KM and 5KM Road Races and Fun Runs which were held in Longwood Village, Longwood, Co. Meath, Ireland on Sunday 22nd October 2017 at 11:00. The races are held annually to support the development of the local GAA club while also supporting local charities. The race has support from Trim AC which sees the race have full AAI premit status. These races have grown steadily over the years and this year almost 400 participants to part in the two races. This is an impressive statistic given that a very large number of local runners will be preparing for the Dublin City marathon 7 days from now. However both races provide marathon runners and all other runners, joggers and walkers with an ideal opportunity to race on a very fair course in a beautiful rural setting. Barry Clarke of Longwood GAA and Trim AC and his very large group of volunteers deserve the highest of praise for the very high standard of organisation immediately apparent to anyone taking part in the race. Overall the whole day was a great success with the hard work put in by the organising committee ensuring that participants enjoyed their race experience. Both routes were accurately measured, kilometer points clearly marked, junctions well stewarded, and electronic timing provided. The event provided many local runners, joggers, fun runners and walkers with a local event to support whilst at the same time providing runners preparing for events such as the Dublin marathon with an opportunity to race a short, fast, distance in the lead up to marathon day. The GAA club provided excellent stewarding and traffic management all around the course. The race had a professional feel to it and it is sure to grow next year given the very positive feedback from many of the participants today. The weather in the week leading up to the race was hardly ideal with both Storm Ophelia and Storm Brian bringing windy and rainy conditions to Ireland all week. The weather for race day was more suitable for running. Dry, with a fresh breeze, the weather remained dry for both races with the sun making an appearance also.

We have an extensive set of photographs from all of the races today in the following Flickr Album: www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157661720601468

Longwood is a small village in South East Co. Meath and is close to the town of Enfield with access to the M4 Motorway.

5KM Course: The 5KM started in Longwood village. Runners then took a left turn in the Village down St. Oliver's Road. This straight section of road brings runners to a left turn onto a very well maintained boreen road for less than one kilometer. The race then emerges and joins with the 10KM at Stoneyford where the runners take a left and then another left before arriving back at the finish line in Longwood GAA club. Overall this is a very fast and flat 5KM with no hills to speak of.

10KM Course: The 10KM event begins in Longwood Village outside Dargan's Pub and proceeds westward out of the village. There are some interesting points along this part of the course. At the 2KM point the runners will run under the double bridges - an aquaduct for the Royal Canal and a bridge carrying the Dublin Sligo Railway line. The race then enters county Kildare just before the 3km and after taking a right turn at the four-cross roads known locally as Lally's Cross it returns to County Meath on top of the River Boyne Bridge (Ashfield Bridge) which forms the county boundary. The race follows a straight road for the next 2KM until runners encounter Blackshade bridge which is the toughest climb on the route. As a point of interest Blackshade bridge brings runners back over the Royal Canal and the Railway line. The race then crosses the River Boyne again at Stoneyford before taking a right which will bring runners on a testing two kilometer stretch with some short hills. The 10KM course then joins with the 5Km course for the final 1.5KM back to Longwood GAA club for the finish.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?

As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:

►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera

►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set

►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone

►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!

You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.

Don't like your photograph here?

That's OK! We understand!

If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.

I want to tell people about these great photographs!

Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets

Tommy Drumm, Mick Hickey, Christy 'Sweets' Downes, Victory Parade, 26 September 1977 by Dublin City Libraries

Given the haphazard nature of the celebrations in 1976 where hundreds of supporters tried to gatecrash the Mansion House, Dublin Corporation decided to organise an open-top bus for the Victory Parade. There was only one suitable vehicle in the country - a 1945 Bristol - that was supplied to the Corporation by the Transport Museum of Ireland.

I was given a great opportunity last weekend to show some friends from out of town around parts of central Texas.

While driving on an overpass/bridge in Wimberly, Texas, we spotted this creek down below. It turns out that it was the Blanco River.

I'm not sure if the recent drought in summer made the river lower than normal but we could walk across rocks and parts of the floor poking through the water.

What I found really beautiful was that the forest was still very full and green with the exception of a few small trees that were in the river. They had turned a bright vibrant fall orange. There were only a handful of these little trees which made for a fun photography exploration.

While shooting there were signs of wildlife everywhere. I saw deer, rabbits, a wild turkey, and a plethora of birds. This is why having photography friends is great, because we get to use photography as a reason to go explore and see what we can find.

When Robin Givens and the other actors graciously came out to do a photo shoot with me in the green room where I had a photo studio set up. Robin Givens is probably the coolest actress I've meet to date. more to come ( TV Show has nothing to do with my studio, just a coincidence)

The Sepachendera Palace by Ahmad Fuad Bin Morad

Alor Setar, Kedah, Malaysia.

The Sepachendera Palace (Istana Kampung Baru). A dilapidated Siamese architecture palace builds in 1882 by Sultan Abdul Hamid upon his accession to the throne for his first wife, a Thai, Y.M. Cik Sepa Chandra [Che Sepacendera, Che Sepachendera].

Y.M. Cik Sepa Chandra lived in the palace until she died in February 1907. The palace was passed to her unmarried

children. In 1922, Tunku Ibrahim (Tunku Sulong) the eldest son of Y.M. Cik Sepa Chandra turned the palace into Kampung Baru Girl School (Sekolah Perempuan Kampung Baru), where girls were given lessons in English.

During the World War II (1945), the palace was used as the Fire Fighter Office and Japanese Language Centre. After the war ended, this palace resumed its function as a school which was renamed as Sekolah Sultanah Asma. However, it was closed in 1954 when a new all-girls’ school named Sekolah Menengah Sultanah Asma was opened at Derga, Jalan Langgar.

In 1966, the premises was then occupied by Sekolah Rendah Kebangsaan Tunku Abdul Halim as well as a branch of the Kedah State Education Department in 1983, before becoming the grounds of Sekolah Menengah Islam Al-Haj and finally Sekolah Menengah Insan Bestari (Sekolah Insan Bestari), managed by Kolej Universiti Insaniah (Insaniyah University College) (KUIN) [now Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Sultan Abdul Halim Mua'dzam Shah (UniSHAMS)].

The three storey, though the most section is two storey, palace made of bricks with a roof deck, similar to several buildings in Siam during that era. Siamese artisans were involved in its construction, but the structural materials and workmanship were inferior and will not stand the test of time. The rear section has collapsed and the main structures showing signs of imminent structural failures. The building is now in a state of disrepair due to years of maintenance neglect, and the cost of reconstruction and restoration work is expected to be very expensive.

Victory Parade, Dublin, All-Ireland Champions, 26 September 1977 by Dublin City Libraries

Given the haphazard nature of the celebrations in 1976 where hundreds of supporters tried to gatecrash the Mansion House, Dublin Corporation decided to organise an open-top bus for the Victory Parade. There was only one suitable vehicle in the country - a 1945 Bristol - that was supplied to the Corporation by the Transport Museum of Ireland.

This photograph is from the Dublin City Council Photographic Collection. This unique collection is an educational resource and provides a basis for original research on the history of Dublin in the second half of the twentieth century.

Coventry (Wheatley Street) Garage Fleet (total and numbers) in 1987/88 by Paul Burroughs

2 1

West Midlands Travel Coventry fleet numbers and totals - from a fleetlist given to me by the company itself in about 1988. 191 vehicles were based with the depot at this time with an average age of 6.8 years.

Wheatley St had received a batch of Park Royal bodied Fleetlines from Liverpool Street/Birmingham Central garage (in the form of 6582-91 and 6635-37) in 1986 - but it seems within 12-18 months they were drifting back west again. 6583 & 6586 had already gone. I'm pretty-sure 6636 was the last to go. 76 Fleetlines were still in service though!!

Those crude annotations - I am trying to work out what they meant and they're my additions?! - something to do with being repainted possibly. w = withdrawn, so I guess 6587 was the next Fleetline to leave and 2029 was written-off in July 1988. Looks like 2619 was received in exchange for Barclays Bank advert bus 2629. In fact 2619 returned to Dudley but came back here again upon DY's closure in 1993!

Not shown here, probably because it occurred in about 1990, was 2611 was exchanged for 2610 with Yardley Wood garage. Curiously 2610 arrived carrying a Cannon Park Renault dealer all-over advert - but I still don't know why the swap took place?

To one side of the entrance hall to the church is a modern stained glass window, commemorating the roll of 234 Fighter Squadron.

E W Wootten fought with this unit during the battle of Britain

www.the-battle-of-britain.co.uk/squadrons/234sqn.htm

On 30 October 1939, No 234 was reformed at Leconfield as a fighter squadron. Originally intended for shipping protection duties, it flew a mixture of Blenheims, Battles and Gauntlets until March 1940, when it began to receive Spitfires, becoming operational on 11 May. Throughout the Battle of Britain, it was based in southern England and in April 1941 began sweeps over northern France. These continued between defensive patrols until January 1943, when it moved to the Orkney Islands, returning south in June. After covering the invasion beaches in Normandy, No.234 converted to Mustangs and began long range escort missions from East Anglia. A few days before the end of the war, the squadron moved to northern Scotland to escort strike Wings operating along the Norwegian coast, but returned to East Anglia in July to convert to Spitfires.

34 on a Woking Circular by Surrey Buses

Given I saw 34/5-branded DAF 3939 without its route branding the other day, I thought I ought to get a move on and photograph the 34 shorts to St John's with a branded bus. I saw 3940 (GK52 YVE) on the right duty earlier in the day, so popped into town to see it leave on the 2035 short to St Johns this evening.

I've left it too late to get any daylight shots this year, as the first journey is the 2035 ex-Woking, so had to go up to the station to get it where the bus wasn't moving.

I realise you can't even see the route branding very well, but it's better than an offside shot with the side in darkness.

It turns out stand 2 is very well lit!

A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw.

Delivered him wings, Hey, look at me now.

Arms wide open with the sea as his floor.

Oh, power, oh

Jake told me a minute after I took these photos that when the waves crash up against the rocks and spray water at him, he feel like he could just fly up to the birds. Man that was some deep shit from a 7 year old.

My boy.

The BHAA K-Club 10KM 2015 by Peter Mooney

This is a photograph from the BHAA K-Club 10KM Road Race and Fun Run 2015 was held at the K-Club Golf and Hotel Resort, Straffan, Co. Kildare, Ireland on Saturday 11th of April 2015 at 11:00. The race, an annual event, has become famous for it's very fast and flat course which starts and finishes within the grounds of the K-Club. While the weather was dry and warm there was a tough breeze in places which made running conditions a little harder than expected. The road race has gained fame through it's PB potential. However it's PB potential is overshadowed by the spread of refreshments and catering afterwards which are now legendary and are of the highest standard imaginable. Race director Gerry Byrne and a very large team of volunteers, K-Club staff, and local Gardai must be given the highest of compliments for the staging of the event. Well done everyone. One for everyone's calendar in 2016. The start and finish area were at the clubhouse on the Palmer Smurfitt Course.
