The manxathletics.com forum

Welcome to the manxathletics.com forum.  Please share information and your views on the sport in the Isle of Man with others. 

The forum has been operating in its present form since April 2004 and I particularly welcome comments from new contributors, whether you live on or off the Isle of Man, if you have an interest in Manx athletics.

Many people have used the forum to give thanks to the officials or their own supporters when they have enjoyed an event. Contrustive criticism is always welcome as an additional means of communication, although it is not intended to replace formal communication between clubs and other bodies and their members.

If you are unable to find information about an event on any of the Manx websites, then the forum is the best place to ask for help from other people. Whilst you can email me at murray@manxathletics.com  and I will do my best to point you in the right direction, the people who have the answer to your question are likely to visit the forum so it is better that you ask it here. manxathletics.com is an independent site and I do not hold office within any of the five Manx clubs.

There are a few rules. Firstly, you should always use your real name as, apart from making people accountable for what they say, one of the objectives of the website is to make the sport friendly and appealing so please do not hide behind a nickname (anonymous entries will be deleted). Secondly, (it should go without saying) you must not insult or offend anyone. Thirdly, pesistent abuse of rules 1 and 2 will result in the forum being withdrawn.

Thanks for being sensible and I hope you continue to enjoy the forum and the sport.

PARISH WALK -- Provisional WEATHER FORECAST

I've been looking over the experimental long-range forecast charts today and I'm glad to say that it's likely to generally good for us on Saturday 25th June.

My intial forecast is that it should be mostly dry and bright with variable amounts of broken cloud, sunny intervals and only odd localised showers passing over on a moderate to sometimes locally fresh NE to N'ly wind, which swings NW'ly later or at night.
Temperatures will be near normal for the time of year around 12 Celsius at first, rising to between 16 and 18 in the afternoon (64F at best) i.e. hopefully not too hot for most of us but still warm work when pushing hard! and possibly feeling very warm when walking in places that are sheltered from the breeze e.g. Ballabeg to Rushen. For those lasting into the night temperatures will dip to about 10 Celsius in the early hours of Sunday morning under largely clear skies.

I'll keep an eye on the charts and probably do some updates during the week. Good luck.
