I have always found the Mid Antrim to a well run and enjoyable event.
I would say that when it comes to the on the day practicailities of running the meeting Norman Gordon does a great job.............better than many other clerks of course.

However it seems to me that Norman has managed to back himself into a corner with his attitude regarding some minor comments made in the safety report presented after the 2007 event. And has thrown the toys out of the pram big style over absolutly nothing.

I think the real problem here lies within the club itself I don't know what the problem is but it is certainly NO fault of the MCUI (Ulster Centre) that the event has been lost.

Here is a link to an official letter from the Centre on this subject. I believe that the Centre found the 2007 Mid Antrim to be a well run and satisfactory road race meeting and the club had the Centres full support to continue with it.
