UPDATE 8th January 2010: That was quick! An announcement today that due to the poor weather conditions, it’s being postponed for a week…….
“Due to the road conditions and the long range forecast we’re going to postpone the event by a week and run it on Sat 23rd Jan instead.
We’re not going to chance tempting folk to drive long distances and also want to do justice to the effort the local climbers put into organising the event and have as many of ye there as possible.
So see you at IBL Round 4 – Sat 23rd Jan
Enjoy the snow & ice while its there!
Regards,
IBL Committee”

Neal McQuaid – don’t forget Round 4 is coming up on Saturday the 16th January (8 days away). What better way to burn off some of the Christmas calories?!?!?
As a request from Damien O’Sullivan, organiser of the event:
“Now that Christmas is over it’s time to get back to business. As you all know the IBL is on in less than two weeks, all the pieces are falling into place from an organisational point of view.
I do however need to know approximate numbers of people intending to compete. If numbers are large then I will set up some extra climbs in the hall down stairs. This will involve a lot of extra work, but it will make the competition much more enjoyable and safer.
I also need to let the Water Rock House know how many people will be eating there and attending for the slide show. I really hope that if you go to the comp that you will go to Water Rock House also, the food there is really good, the owner is going us an excellent deal too. There will be a slide show, and music to dance to if that’s your thing.
I will need to know approximate numbers by next Monday, so please send me an e-mail to ……….. [go to this link for his email address - don't want to post publicly], putting IBL as the subject.
Thanks, Damo.”
As for info on the comp, “We have our plans in place and we promise you an excellent days climbing. We intend setting 18 problems, each with a hard and easy variation. There will be problems easy enough for the newest of beginners right up to the most seasoned of strong (wo)men to enjoy.”
