IVCA Covid 19 Update [28 July 2020]

Following on from meetings yesterday with the Race Comittee and the Board of Directors , we have taken the difficult decision to cancel the FULL Calendar of events for the 2020 season.

We are unable to secure ANY of our regular sign on venues, most are closed to the general public at this time due to HSE/GOVERNMENT RESTRICTIONS still in place.

So for this reason we can not organise any events for health and safety reasons.

These are extraordinary times and indeed unprecedented for everyone, and we ask for your patience and understanding during these difficult times.

The AGM is scheduled for Sunday 13th September at 2.30pm in the Springfield
hotel Leixlip. Please attend this meeting and we can address questions/discuss the situation in depth, and start planning for resuming racing in 2021.

Best wishes.
Ivca Board of Directors.

Please also note that with regard to the Wicklow 200, due to the ongoing impact and restrictions around Covid-19 the event will not go ahead this year, and is being re-scheduled for 2021.

We would be grateful if you could share this information with your fellow members, and would ask all members to check the HSE website regularly for updates on the national recommendations with regard to public health measures.

*Event update* Wicklow 200 postponed until 2021

Unfortunately, the Event Organisers for the W200, Elite Events, have advised that due to the impact of Covid-19, the Wicklow 200 2020 is being postponed until 2021. We are very disappointed to have to do this, but as you can imagine, current circumstances mean we have no choice. In the meantime, please take care of yourselves and follow Government guidance.

If you have any questions please note the following email address with regards to co-ordination of the marshals for the W200:

Regards and please stay safe,

On behalf of the Board of Directors of the IVCA.
