Irish Milers Club. The BMC has a reciprocal arrangement with the IMC in that IMC members will be treated as BMC members for race entry. The current IMC subs position is always taken into account. If you do not have your IMC membership number next to your name, either on the entry confirmation E-mail or on the start lists then you have not paid your IMC subs and will either have your entry deferred or you will be charged the non-members entry fees. Please contact Niamh Cummins for clarification.

No longer running?
As we expect all the Grand Prix meetings are going to be over-subscribed, it means we will have to turn athletes away. If you have already entered and can no longer compete please can you inform the person that your entry went to. This will not only allow another athlete to compete but can also mean that several athletes could be moved up a race (from C to B, D to C, E to D, etc. We consider this a matter of courtsey, both to the organisers and to your fellow athletes.
