Forestry Rally

Sunday 5th October 2008

Our forestry event, which was originally scheduled for May, will run on Sunday 5th October. The event was postponed due to Coillte's conservation policy regarding the breeding season of the hen harrier. With the population of the hen harrier safely increased for another year the event is now all systems go! This years C.O.C. is a familiar face to anyone involved in the rallying community, Mr. Robert Nolan from Templemore is planning a spectacular forestry event. The computerised entries system which was used for our tarmac rally will, once agian, be in operation for the forestry. Entries are now open, to submitt an entry click on the link below:
