Opel Vauxhall Run
With glorious sunshine shining down upon us on the Saturday morning of the 17th Ted’s Opel Vauxhall Run, people started to congregate early in the morning. Some came as early as Thursday evening and made a long weekend of it.
Ellen with dog Nixon represented the Dogs for the Disabled and said a few words about the wonderful work the charity does.
The run set off from the Mills Inn through Farnanes, Coachford, Dripsey Model Village, with a regroup in Berrings.
At the regroup local Councillor Michael Looney, who was in the Motor Trade for approximately 60 years picked and presented the 2nd Special Award.
The run continued to Pat Barrys Bar in Donoughmore for a midway stop and refreshments.
On the second leg of the run it went through Rylane, over the Butter road into Millstreet and returned to the Mills Inn via Mullaghanish. Once back at the Mills Inn the rest of the Awards were presented.
The evening rounded off with a delicious BBQ and a night of music. A huge Thank you to all who attended and all who helped out on the day and to the continuing sponsors Opel Ireland, Cartell.ie and Casey Caravan Services.
Keep the 9th of August 2025 in your diary.
