The Back Straight
Speaking, today, to one of the resurfacing personnel, he said that it would be "another week or two, weather permitting", before they will be finished. Asked about the track lining, he said that this will be done by another company, and that this can proceed a week or so after the track resurfacing has finished
So...We're not quite ready for 'Starters Orders', but we're certainly in the Call Room!
Long Jump Run Area
It's still very much weather dependent, and the next week or so are looking pretty 'iffy'. Tomorrow looks to be pretty wet from 11am, with some rain before that. Sunday is showery, apart from a short burst of rain around 10am. Monday starts out good, until a prolonged wet period from about 4pm. Tuesday is wet until early afternoon...beyond that...Who knows?
Track Opening - 70th Cork City Sports
All going well, it is hoped to hold the Official Opening on the evening of the 70th Cork City Sports, on Tuesday July 9th. In the meantime, it is hoped that one or two low key events may be held, to 'test' the track
