The GAA grounds in Coachford is the venue for this Sunday’s Vintage and Classic Car and Tractor run. Registration begins at 11.00am with tea, coffee and scones available. The cars and Tractors head off at 12.00 in different directions. The Cars will depart for the west while the tractors head north. The Cars will explore the area around Cill na Martra, Ballingeary and Toonsbridge while the tractors will take a shorter route to Aghabullogue, Ballinagree and Rylane. Both groups will be welcomed back to Coachford in the afternoon to O Riordan’s Bar where they will enjoy a well deserved bowl of hot soup. This annual run is organised by the Broomhill Vintage Club and has become a favourite amongst the owners of vintage and classic vehicles.
