New Year’s Day Run 2017

Posted on February 13, 2017 by Liam D'Arcy — No Comments ↓

The club got the year off to a great start by having a new year’s day run organised by Denis Wright. This was traditionally a bike run but due to its popularity it was decided to open it up to all vehicles. So on this occasion we had over thirty bikes, trikes cars and vans.

The day started with a mulled wine (non alcoholic) reception and finger food which went down a treat so much so that it was with difficulty that some drivers were persuaded to return to their vehicles. The club is greatly appreciative of Denis and Anne’s efforts on behalf of the club. The “run” then proceeded via Killeshandra, Ballinagh and back to Cavan town where a stop was made at a cafe for a cupa and a chat before heading home all in beautiful weather. The outing may be viewed on Youtube below thanks to Padraig Gaffney:

We are currently preparing for our auto jumble in Cavan on the 19th of March and then we will concentrate on a full calendar of events for the coming year and we will post the details here when they are finalised.
