Volvo Ocean Race

For anyone looking for a fix of Volvo Ocean Race the TG4 website is streaming a half hour program every Saturday, and at the end of each month they are also doing an hour long recap program. It starts tomorrow at 10am on http://www.tg4.tv/
If I can figure out a way to download it as it streams it might be available to watch on the big screen during the afternoon

Bit short notice I know, but the intention (technology permitting) is to show the start of Leg 1 of the Volvo Ocean Race on the big screen in the club. The start time is 13:00 with coverage running from 12:45. Hopefully we'll have the video streaming from the VOR web site with the race tracker running as well.
