With much assistance from the DOE, and the local council, road name signs, village signs and speed signs will be either moved or repositioned.

The Mid Antrim Club would very much like to thank most sincerely all the bodies involved for all their co-operation and especially all the residents and land owners who have given them nothing but their utmost help and support in their efforts to make the Clough Circuit as safe as possible. On Friday the 3rd August roads close for practice at 6:30pm with the first session due to commence at 7:00pm. Under the new MCUI (UC) rules all competitors must practice the night before the event.

Roads close at 10:00am on Saturday the 4th for racing. There will be a full race programme around the 3.6-mile Clough circuit with a top class entry expected including Adrian Archibald, Richard Britton, Adrian McFarland, Ryan Farquhar, Seamus Greene, Victor Gilmore, Robert Dunlop, Colin Rodgers, Gary Jess, Alex Donaldson and Paul Truesdale amongst others. Manx aces Paul Hunt and Barry Wood also hope to take part depending on travel arrangements.
