Hi everyone,

I was chatting to some veterns of the club and they tell me that they are chuffed with the turnout and interest this year in the forum and the runs from newbies like me and many others.
I'm proud to be a part of this club of good people who share a like minded and keen interest in our open top roadsters.

So, i want to add to the momentum and do a RUN in my county of residence in the Midlands.

The run will take place in Laois on SUNDAY THE 10th of AUGUST next.

We'll meet @ the MIDWAY (comfort hotel) just of the motorway at Portlaoise @ 10.30am - then, after getting some take away coffee's/grub from the terrific facilities there, we'll hit the road and head up the "cut" into the slieve blooms, and over to kinnity castle.
From there into Birr, Co.Offally - and i'll reveal more later on as this thread grows - but i'll make sure that its easy for everyone to get home from whatever direction you came from.

There ya go So - Lets keep the RUNS GOING, the NUMBERS STRONG and the INTEREST ALIVE in our 5's!
Hopefully Robin, John Cheatley who missed the recent one's can come and hopefully Sean will have a powerplant by then!
I have'nt met you Sean but i read with interest about your engine story - hope you'll be zooming by then.

So, lots of notice here..............Sunday August the 10th - the date is set in stone.......

Post your interest and spread the word!

Rgds,

Ollie. :D
