PaDDY DETAILS FOR 2021

14/8/2021

Following a committee meeting last week it has been decided to put on the Paddy this September.
That's the good news !
Due to the ongoing uncertainty with covid we will be scaling back a small bit.
This year it will be reduced to a ONE DAY ONLY event to be held on Saturday 18th September and restricted to 120 entrants. These will be taken on a first come basis for previous entrants ONLY.
We will be following ALL covid guidelines so there'll be an extra few boxes to tick in relation to vaccinations etc. Registration will be on line through active as usual.

The format for this year's Paddy is as follows.
Entrants will arrive Saturday morning.
Check-in will be open at 7. Podium start for 9.30.
Compulsory lunch stop between 12.30 - 13.30
Return to Doon for dinner and prize giving for 5.30- 7.30 and then home.
There will be no overnight camping facilities arranged this time around.

It's going to be a tight one but rest assured that we will do our utmost to put on the best Paddy we can considering all the obstacles that we face this year.
So to set the ball rolling, we will open registration on the morning of 14th August at 6.00 am. Don't forget it is a first come first served basis. Registration will close at 23.00 on 28 August. With the amount of interest in this years Paddy we expect places to fill up quickly so don't hang around. Please follow the link below to register.

Stay safe everyone and we look forward to seeing you soon.

Paddy Dakar 2020 cANCELLED DUE TO COVID-19

4/7/2020

Paddy Covid Update
Following a recent committee meeting, it is with a heavy heart that I must inform you that this year's Paddy Dakar will not be taking place. The Paddy Dakar has always been for the benefit of the community of Doon and the surrounding parishes, and we have always relied on their help and support to bring a top class event to you. Now, in these strange and uncertain times, we feel it's our turn to help and to return that support. Covid 19 has laid waste to many events this year big and small across the world, and The Paddy Dakar is no different. We feel that the influx of 200+ entrants into the community would not be the best decision at this time - we need to do our bit to protect the community and you the participants. It is one of the hardest decisions we have had to make, but we feel it is the best for all involved. It will be strange not being able to welcome you this year and we will miss the crack, banter, and your smiling mud covered faces in September. But we will be back next year as good as ever. We do hope you understand and we look forward to your continuing support in the future. Stay safe until we meet again, and remember - rubber side down.
Regards
Paddy.
