Comeragh Cycle Race
The national under 23 road racing championship will take place in Waterford
on the 1st of July. Richie EI9HR is event Co-ordinator and he is being
assisted by John EI8JA. This year's race will be on a greater scale with
over 160 riders taking part. The Civil Defence have come on board this year
to help with marshalling and RTE will be filming the event.
AREN will provide the communications for safe traffic management and
accident reporting. There will be more radio reporting points and mobile
stations than last year so more radio operators are required. Again
newcomers are welcome and training will be provided on the morning of the
race. This is an excellent opportunity for operators to put their radio
skills to good use in a very enjoyable and rewarding way for the benefit of
the Community. All operators irrespective of experience are welcome.
