Race Director’s Foreword Welcome to the 2018 edition of the SPAR Tour of Omagh. Now in its ninth year, the race is going from strength to strength thanks to the dedication of Omagh Wheelers members, and to the many volunteers and friends connected to Omagh Wheelers Cycling Club. In 2018, we continue to host two separate races: A4 and Women's. This special event gives both types of riders the opportunity to experience the demands and challenges of a three day event, which provides real competitive racing, and an excellent environment for riders to gain experience and develop. The demands of a three-day event are very different to a normal one-day race, as not only do riders have to try and recover before the demands of the next stage, but you also have a mixture of cycling disciplines to contend with: a time-trial stage which will benefit those strong against the clock, a King of the Hills (KOH) competition for the climbers, and a Points competition for riders with a Cavendish-style kick.

    Mainly Ulster families – “B” series – Smythe-Wood Newspaper Index Irish Genealogical Research Society Dr P Smythe-Wood’s Irish Newspaper Index Selected families, mainly from Ulster ‘SERIES B’ The late Dr Patrick Smythe-Wood presented a large collection of card indexes to the IGRS Library, reflecting his various interests, - the Irish in Canada, Ulster families, various professions etc. These include abstracts from various Irish Newspapers, including the Belfast Newsletter, which are printed below. Abstracts are included for all papers up to 1864, but excluding any entries in the Belfast Newsletter prior to 1801, as they are fully available online. Dr Smythe-Wood often found entries in several newspapers for the one event, & these will be shown as one entry below. Entries dealing with RIC Officers, Customs & Excise Officers, Coastguards, Prison Officers, & Irish families in Canada will be dealt with in separate files. In most cases, Dr Smythe-Wood has recorded the exact entry, but in some, marked thus *, the entries were adjusted into a database, so should be treated with more caution. There are further large card indexes of Miscellaneous notes on families which are not at present being digitised, but which often deal with the same families treated below.

    Magheramason Presbyterian Church Newsletter September 2015 Keeping in Step with Jesus! Summer Holidays are over for another year and its hard to believe the children are all back at school again at the beginning of another new school year. P1 pupils will be entering Primary School for the first time, others are making the move from Primary to Secondary education and some heading off to university. Perhaps some reading this newsletter are beginning a new job, others may have plans to retire to begin new ventures? Regarding church life in Magheramason, it is all go, as all of our organisations begin again for another season. The past year has been a time of transition for the manse family as we have settled into life in this beautiful part of the country. It has taken time, but we are thankful for all who have helped and supported us prayerfully and practically in early stages of ministry here. We know it is the LORD himself who has led us to this place, as we have sought to follow his clear direction for our lives as a family. At this busy time it is good to stop and ask are we keeping in step with Jesus? On the first Sunday of September to coincide with Sunday School recommencing we had a special Back to School with God service. Many boys and girls led us in prayer and bible readings joining with adults who are involved in different aspects of work in our local schools.
