The Carlow Vintage & Classic Motor Club are looking forward to a very busy show season this year, and are delighted to announce that they have secured two new venues for their ever-popular shows. Following their show season launch at the Woodford Dolmen Hotel on Sunday the 3rd of April, the Club’s first show of the season on the 8th of May, previously hosted at Duckett’s Grove, will now take place on the grounds of Carlow Rugby Club at Oak Park on the edge of Carlow Town. Club Chairman PJ Lawlor said: “The club is delighted with our new May venue, which holds many advantages including easy access from all directions. It is with sadness that we leave the fantastic facilities and location of Duckett’s Grove, but we must make way for the great initiatives that the Council are making with biodiversity, including meadows for the bees.” PJ especially thanks the Community section of the Council, including Emer Connors and Michael Brennan, for their help over the years.
In a further venue change, the Club’s show in August, historically held at the old Lapple facility on the O’Brien Road, is now moving to the prestigious grounds of St. Patrick’s College in the middle of Carlow Town. “This location is a real gem and the venue is one that we have been chasing for some time,” PJ said. Both shows will be family focused and will have the usual autojumble, refreshment facilities and entertainment.
