and reducing pressure on Marshals
• Suggestion to have races on Sunday mornings instead of Saturday mornings
• Suggestion to target 4 National Series Races, and then base our Race Series Calendar around this.
• Suggestion to make points system live on the website, so members know how to gain points for our club
race series.

Vinny Dowling publicly thanked the committee for all their work, for their support in being nominated for Race
Director, and thank you to Willie Fitzpatrick for all his hard work this year with Tri-Laois. He hopes to continue
this success in 2020.
Noel Coss thanked everyone for their submissions for the Leinster Express, and appealed for everyone to submit
race reports in the third person, to make it easier for him to edit.
Sinead Wearen proposed an overnight in Leitrim, with half-marathon, 10km, 5km, 2.5km distances catered for.
Madeline Kavanagh mentioned the Ballyroan 10-mile race might be the same day.
John Corcoran mentioned an exceptional year for Tri-Laois, and a great decision to have split registration, and
well done to all involved. Marshalling for Tri-Laois will be opt-out as opposed to opt-in for 2020, as a member
of Trilogy it is our obligation to make ourselves available to marshal Tri-Laois, or send a replacement marshal.
