The club out done itself on their 25th Anniversary run in Castlebar. The route took us along the Nephin Drive and the excellent weather ensured all participants were able to enjoy the beautiful scenery.(Less that a week later this area was devastated by torrential rain) After a stop in Newport for lunch we joined the Nephin View Restoration Group for their heritage day.
On Saturday Evening we were entertained by Brose Walsh and his band in Breaffy House.
Noel Grainger from Irvinestown received a plaque from Club Chairman, Michael Davitt for his contributiion in 24 of the 25 CVVMC Annual Run's in his Wolseley 1500.
Sunday again provided loads of sunshine and a scenic drive to Turlough House, Museum of Country Life, where everybody had a tour of the Museum and friendly chat.
Well done to all who worked hard to ensure the weekend was enjoyable for all participants.
Looking forward to meeting everyone on the 26th CVVMC Run in Sligo, 2010.
