Irish Alfa Romeo owners now have a new club that will proudly fly the serpent at events this year. No longer will owners have to arrive and park under the flag of Italian cars, or be directed to the “other cars” parking at an event. Alfa Romeo Owners’ Club Irelandhas been formed by a number of enthusiasts who will participate in a variety of diverse events around Ireland.
In this first year, a trip to the Capri Club Ireland track day in Mondello Parkon the 28th of April is planned, while an altogether different experience will be the more sedate but hugely-popular Norman Pratt Run in Co. Meath on the 6th of May. The event that really kickstarted the renewed interest in forming an Alfa Romeo owners club was the huge Alfa Romeo display at Classic Car Live two years ago; supported by Irish Vintage Scene Magazine, Ireland’s “mini Goodwood” will again take place in Mondello Park this year on the 17th of June. For those that like to display their cars in the nicest of surroundings, the Irish Classic & Vintage Motorshow in Terenure College, Dublin on the 8th of July will feature a special club display. Finally, an Alfa Romeo-only weekend away is planned for October, with details to be announced shortly.
These events offer something for everyone, and will hopefully bring out all those Alfa owners who have long waited for their own club. For further information, contact Gordon Rowland on 086 8150620 or email arocireland@gmail.com.
