Ireland map with clubs on it was created by dave_lillis
I know I've raised this a number of times, but a map of the island with a point for each club might be useful, so I had an hour free today and put this together.

Its abit simple bit it does a good job of showing a newbie to the site the nearest IFAS club, maybe the graphic artists out there could come up with a nicer map, although I'm note sure where the East Antrim one should go ?
Could the web designers out there use something like this where by someone clicks on one of the stars and it brings them to a new page, maybe that clubs website or details if there is no site.

Good stuff dave
There are still lots of places where we could have some more IFAS affiliated clubs. Anybody in those areas interested in starting a club???

Very cool! Shows a newcomer, at a glance, where the nearest club is. Perhaps a version that takes the user directly to the club webpage by clicking on a star is the next step.
I like.

I was looking at the map and it just didn't look right, then I noticed that Lough Neagh is missing :lol:
Thanks for the comments lads, I did it up in photoshop and used layers so its very easy for me to change the position of any of the locations.
One thing that occurred to me while looking at it is the the north west is under-represented, I don't think the club in Sligo exists any more, so that's one star that could be removed (correct me if I'm wrong) leaving a big gaping space in that area.

Nice one Dave,
We could even use the new IFAS Logo for the club's locations. It is clear and immediately understandable, excellent.
