Organsiation has started already for the 2017 Maamturks Challenge - date is not confirmed yet but we are looking for a new t-shirt design which we plan to have on all the participant and volunteer t-shirts.
Side note: If anyone is not quite sure or has no idea what the Maamturks Challenge is: It's a hillwalking challenge event run every year by the club (for more than 40 years) across the entire Maamturks range from the base of Corcóg to Leenane. Volunteers from the club organise the event for 200 members of the public and it's a fantastic event to be a part of.
You can read a little bit more about the event on the Maamturks Website: http://www.nuigmc.com/maamturks/about/
You can also watch the 40th Anniversary Documentary that was made about the event for the 2015 Challenge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lo-TGpHPTqI
For the last two years, we had the nearly the same design: a cross section of the Maamturks range (actually pretty accurate of the range) with all the checkpoints marked out:

- 2016 T-Shirt low res.png (162.22 KiB) Viewed 4947 times
We have until early January to get the design finalised but if anyone doesn't have enough to do during study week or over the next week or two, then send us in your designs! You can post them here or else email them over to maamturks@nuigmc.com. The plan is to have two colours, one for the volunteers and one for the participants.
Rumours of a good prize going around if we get a new design!
