Going to Castlewellan this Sunday made me think and this is what I think ! the order doesn't really matter !!
And We run the Nationals again.
Nps 0 Ballinastoe - EPIC
Nps 1 Bunclody - Racing 795
Nps 2 Carlingford - Cuchulainn
NPS 3 Kilruddery - Team-Worc
NPS 4 Castlewellan - XMTB
NPS 5 Slade Valley-IMBRC
NPS 6 3 Rock -MAD
NPS 7 Killarney 09 Killarney
I think Tollymore and Moneyscalp also have merits, in fact I thought they were great courses..but I think you need a field or park area to finish.
I think all the main organisers need to sit down and decide as a group what way things are going to go and agree on it, standardise everything from start times to timing.
I think there should be an NPS Jersey for every Category Winner.
I think the Technical zones need to be more thought out.
I think when organisers run an event they should take the support people ( Families) in to consideration.
I think the Under 8's , 10's and 12's should go at 10.00 and their prizegiving should be just
before the start of the Sports Race.
I think there should be 1 main sponsor of the NPS
I think there should be several National Developmental Teams at each NPS from under 12s to Juniors.
I think all the under 8's and 10s should get a medal or at least a certificate of deadliness.
I think there should be a serious presence from THE COMMISSAAR.
Bear in mind that these are just the personal opinions of myself..
Due to the efforts of the Commission and all the organising clubs..Cross Country Racing has resurged in popularity..
Next year , with the mythical ( Insert Smiley) European Championships on the horizon, the inception of the purpose built trails on 3 rock..its going to explode in popularity,
