The Club AGM is scheduled for early September and awards night for October. An Riocht club are holding an international meet on Thursday August 18th at 6.30pm. They have athletes competing from all over the world and this is a great opportunity for locals here to see international athletes of this standard competing so close to home. The meet is part of their official opening so we would encourage people to go see the event and support the club. The event list is on the website (www.traleeharriers.com). Our own Eoin Leen will be part of the official opening.
