THE 8th ROUND OF THE NPS WILL BE HELD ON BREE HILL CO. WEXFORD ON SAT. 14 AND SUN. 15 OCTOBER

THIS WILL BE A 2 DAY EVENT WITH AMBULANCE AND UPLIFTS ON BOTH DAYS

The main issue the organisers would like to stress is that any kind of motorised vehicle, ie quads, mini bikes etc are completely banned from the race. Failure for riders to adhere to this rule will mean the possibility of future events will be nil and the rider in question will be banned from racing.
