A Two-Decade Legacy: Around A Pound Celebrates 20+ Years Supporting the Tandragee 100

The North Armagh Motorcycle & Car Club (Tarmac Section) Ltd is delighted to confirm that Around A Pound, Northern Ireland’s premier community discount retailer, is returning as the title sponsor for the 2026 Around A Pound Tandragee 100 Motorcycle Road Races.

Voted the 4th best road racing course in the world, the 5.3-mile Tandragee circuit—often dubbed the “Mini TT”—attracts over 150 competitors and thousands of fans from across the globe. The 2026 event will continue to feature a full schedule of high-octane racing across the technical bumps and fast straights of the Co. Armagh countryside.

This year’s announcement is particularly significant as it marks over two decades of unwavering commitment from the local company. Owners Gerard and Siobhan Rice have been key sponsors of the event since 2005, standing by the “Mini TT” through its greatest triumphs and challenging hiatuses alike.

2026 Cookstown 100 Rider Entry Fees

December 22, 2025 by TomBoyNI

Cookstown & District Motorcycle Club’s groundbreaking announcement for competitors ahead of the 104th Cookstown ‘100.’

2026 Cookstown 100 competitors received an unexpected Christmas present when the directors of Cookstown & District Motorcycle Club announced the groundbreaking news that they would receive Free and Reduced entry fees for next year's event. — 2026 Cookstown 100 competitors received an unexpected Christmas present when the directors of Cookstown & District Motorcycle Club announced the groundbreaking news that they would receive Free and Reduced entry fees for next year’s event.

Christmas is a season of giving, and the Cookstown & District Motor Cycle Club (MCC) is proud to announce it has a special gift for competitors ahead of next year’s Cookstown “100” road races.

As the longest-running national road racing organisation – second only to the Isle of Man TT – the Cookstown MCC has built a legacy of resilience and innovation in motorsport.

From the early days, when race legends such as Mike Hailwood, Philip McCallen, Robert Dunlop, and Michael Dunlop each scored their first road race wins at Cookstown, to pioneering initiatives like the “Man of the Meeting” award in 1974 (£100.00), the first club to allow Robert Dunlop to return to racing, following his 1994 IOM TT crash, and hosting the only road race worldwide during the 2020 pandemic, the Cookstown club has consistently sought ways to support riders and the sport.

In 2026, the 104th Cookstown “100” will feature a game-changing initiative—competitors will receive ‘FREE’ and ‘Discounted’ entry fees. This means no one will pay a full entry fee to compete at the Cookstown “100”!

Conrod Motorsport Launches for 2026 TT Races :

No sooner than the news broke that Burrows Engineering and RK Racing had parted ways with Conor Cummins did the announcement come that Conor has formed his own Team which will be competing at the 2026 Isle of Man TT Road Races…

CUMMINS LAUNCHES CONROD MOTORSPORT FOR TT 2026

WORDS: IOM TT RACES OFFICIAL

Conor Cummins has announced the launch of his own Conrod Motorsport team for the 2026 Isle of Man TT Races, marking a bold new chapter in his career as he prepares to celebrate 20 years since his TT debut.

Inspired by his successful Douglas-based coffee business Conrod’s, launched in 2015, Cummins’ new team signals both a personal milestone and a fresh competitive challenge. The initial programme will see Conrod Motorsport contest the two Superstock TT races in 2026 on a machine to be confirmed, while Cummins continues to review his options for the Superbike and Supersport classes.

Speaking of the new venture, Conor said: “I’m really looking forward to the new challenge of running my own team. It’s a big step and a bit of a leap into the unknown, but it’s something I’ve considered doing at various stages throughout my career. With the growth of the business, now feels like the right time, and I’m really excited to be bringing my two passions together.”

“The competition is tougher than ever, so I’m under no illusion as to how much work this is going to take. But I’ve been fortunate enough to work with some great people and great teams over the years, and I’ll be bringing all that know-how together to make sure I’m in the strongest possible position when it’s time to go racing.”
