BANBRIDGE

It’s hard to believe as I write this report only

one Summer Run remains. End of Season Run

organised by Reg Bell on National Heritage Day.

My thanks to all our committee members who

worked hard organising all our Summer Runs and

evening activities.

The Committee already have in place

arrangements for some of our indoor Winter Club

Nights.

Congratulations to David and Bronagh Lauro

on their marriage. Several of our committee

members attended what was a very pleasant

and entertaining day. At the end of the wedding

ceremony a 4 cylinder MV AUGUSTA was put on

display and started up courtesy of David Crawford.

This motor cycle was previously owned by David

Lauro’s Grandfather.

A large number of our members took part in the

Waringstown event which would be the biggest

local display and cavalcade.Our Treasurer/

President Reg Bell

drove the Lord

Mayor around the

route in his Rolls

Royce and there

was even a guard

of honour for the

Mayor and his

Chauffer at the Dunkirk road. The event raised

£10,025.00 for Kidney Research.

I would like to express my personal sympathy to

Ronnie Burney who has lost two sisters recently

and assure him our thoughts are with him in his

time of bereavement.

I look forward to seeing you all at our Winter Club

Night Meetings and thanks again to Sheila and her

helpers who faithfully provide the refreshments

for these meetings.

KILBRONEY CLASSIC CAR SHOW

BRONTE RUN

Saturday17th June 2017

Saturday 10th June 2017

On Saturday 17th June the

sun shone continuously from

early morning, this attracted

large numbers of entrants and

spectators. By mid morning

large queues had formed

in both directions from

Warrenpoint and Hilltown.

There was live music and

entertainment all day with a

large number of Auto Jumble

Stalls etc.

This event must now be one of the

biggest Classic Vehicle Events in the

whole of Ireland .

Thanks to Sheila, our Secretary who

booked a dedicated Club Stand for

all our members to park and this

year it was full to capacity.

Michael McKay, Reg Bell, David

Kinkaid and I went up on Thursday to

claim our pitch for the day. Thanks

also to Martin Geary for bringing our

Gazebo and helping to erect it on

site. We were all glad of it on the

day to shelter from the hot sun.

A good time was had by all with

Picnics and Barbecues being in

evidence all day.

Dennis Mitchell

Corrs Corner Hotel Newtownabbey was the

meeting point for some 17 cars of the Banbridge

Old Vehicle Club .Here we all met for tea, coffee

and scones followed by a catch up on the news

from our last meet. Sadly we learnt from Noel

McAree that his darling wife Elizabeth had

suffered a stroke and was presently in Oakridge

Nursing Home in Ballynahinch. We all send her

our love and best wishes, missing you already

or rather Noel is, we hope to see you out soon.

Another stalwart of the Club, Billy Ferguson has

had an operation and we all send our love and

best wishes to you and Millicent; hope you can

join us at future outings. After the pleasantry’s we

were all rounded up by our hosts for the day Andy

and Debbie Doran. From here we wound our way

through the countryside and the along the coast

road to Carnfunock Park which is situated on the

Antrim Coast Road .

The weather was very pleasant and after our

picnic some of us went walking to explore the

walled gardens and Maze and no one got lost.

Others enjoyed a coffee and the panoramic views

of the Antrim coast. A large group of people had

gathered to enjoy the pony gymkhana. I believe

a young lady was seen poaching , I do wonder

what Brendan gets served up for supper could it

be tadpoles or maybe frogs I believe this is the

new delicacy.

We ended the day with an 80th birthday

celebration for our dear friend Anne Gardiner

followed by a carvery meal.

Many thanks must go to our hosts and organisers

Andy and Debbie Doran.

BANBRIDGE OUTLET EVENT 2017

On Friday 3rd June well over 300 old vehicles participated in the Outlet event and cavalcade. A vast

and varied display was viewed by a large number of spectators in the Outlet car park. The Military

Vehicle Club put on a large and interesting display of old Army Vehicles.

Our thanks to the Outlet Management Team who provided us with premises to serve refreshments

and use of an Office to book in the participants on arrival. They also financed the prizes for the best

prepared Vehicles on display. The Perpetual Trophy provided by Outlet Management was won by Trevor

Crothers in an MGTD. Thanks must go to David Lauro who provided a cup for the winner to keep.

Recognition must be given to the Marshalls who controlled the arrival and parking of the vehicles very

efficiently, in particular I would personally thank John and Helen Mercer.

A special thanks to Andrew Carson and David Kinkaid for the erection and removal of signs advertising

the event which contributes greatly to the large turn out at the event. Thanks to Billy Ferguson for

supplying his Riley for display at the Outlet 1 week in advance of the event.

The Deputy Lord Mayor of ABC Council, Paul Greenfield very kindly spent part of the evening inspecting

the vehicles on display and Jim Black drove him round the Cavalcade in his Rolls Royce.

Thanks to the Ulster Aviation Society for putting on display their full size Replica Spitfire Fighter Plane,

this was a big attraction at the event.

Iris would like to thank the ladies who worked hard on the day. Sheila and Valerie who did an excellent

job manning the booking in office. Our “No ticket No Tea” lady Maureen who collects the Tea tickets

at the door and Elly, Betty, Hilary, Myreve, Georgie and our new helper this year Bronagh who made

sure everyone was served supper. A special thanks to Martin Geary who single handed set up all the

tables and chairs.

We would again like to thank the whole team for their help and co-operation in making the 2017

Outlet Event such a success.

T.T. RUN Saturday 1st July 2017

Twenty four cars assembled

at Woodlawn Garden Centre.

On arrival Valerie Neill welcomed us and provided us with a sheet of minute details

which John and She had prepared, and a little treat, a bag of sweets. The time we spent in the restaurant

having enjoyed tea, coffee and scones was also an opportunity to reminisce about bygone days and

compare experience with present cars. It was also an opportunity for the ladies to do a little shopping.

At 11.30 am the cavalcade moved off for the first section of the route. This brought us through lovely

countryside which to many was a new experience. We passed through Ballygowan, Comber, Newtownards

and on arrival at Millisle we made our first stop for the traditional picnic.

Rested and fortified we set off on the next section of the run that would take us to Gannaway Heritage

Centre, a place well known to members of the Boys Brigade. Our visit there was most interesting and

I would suggest it would be well worth

a visit by anyone. To brouse around the

displays or watch a film telling the history

of the B.B. There is also a section telling the

story of the Titanic. I was amazed to read

that she used 825 tons of coal every 24

hours. On leaving the Heritage Centre we

passed through Ballywalter, Ballyhalbert,

Portavogie, Cloughey, Portaferry and

Kircubbin which brought us to Harrison’s

Garden Centre for our evening meal which

was enjoyed by everyone.

Many thanks to John and Valerie Neill for

a well organised and most enjoyable run

and to everyone for their friendship.

Jim Stewart

Stanley Woods Run

On Saturday 12th August,

twenty-two cars and over forty

people assembled at Bannside

Presbyterian Church, Banbridge

for the 2017 Stanley Woods Run.

We were warmly welcomed by

members of the congregation

and very much enjoyed their

hospitality. The tea, coffee,

scones and pancakes provided a

pleasant start to our day.

We departed from Banbridge

at 11am and followed a scenic

route through Ballyroney to

Rathfriland and Hilltown. We

enjoyed beautiful views of

the Mourne countryside. Our

route continued to Rostrevor,

passing Kilbroney Park and

then following the shore of

Carlingford Lough to the

lunchtime stop at Cranfield.

Reserved parking had been

arranged close to the beach.

Picnic lunches were enjoyed,

initially in bright sunshine, and

although dark clouds gathered

overhead no rain fell to spoil

the occasion. After lunch many

members had a walk along

the beach with views across

the lough to Greenore and the

Cooley Mountains.

At 2pm we departed, taking a

short route on country roads

to the home of Joe and Marie

Boden, close to Kilkeel. Joe

and Marie have an extensive

collection of agricultural and

military memorabilia from the

surrounding area. Their museum,

named ‘Olden Days and Olden

Ways’ was formed over fifteen

years ago. Joe provided us

with an informative guided

tour detailing in particular the

history of the nearby World

War II American airfield. At the

conclusion of our visit, Joe and

Marie were presented with a

BOVC plaque and a donation

for the charity supported by

the museum – Southern Area

Hospice Services.

The final leg of our journey

followed a coastal route

via Kilkeel and Annalong to

Newcastle. The run ended with

a meal at the Burrendale Hotel.

Our thanks go to Robert

Dalzell and Ken McDevitte for

organising a most enjoyable day.

We look forward to the next club

outing.

Alan, Elizabeth andMark Bridgham

On Tuesday 30th May thirty members of Banbridge Old Vehicle Club attended the Somme Museum and

were given a guided tour. It was here that men of the 36th division were trained in preparation for the

Battle of the Somme on 1st July 1916. This was part of the Clandebuoy Estate. The museum has a mock

up of the trenches built to show what life was like for soldiers at the front.

I think most people found these mock ups very interesting. We were then shown a film depicting what

the battlefield was tike

on the 1st July 1916.

After this we were

served with tea/ coffee

and scones which

ended a very enjoyable

night.

Thanks to Dennis

Mitchell for organising

this event.

MAY CLUB NIGHT - TUESDAY 30TH MAY 2017

VISIT TO THE SOMME HERITAGE CENTRE

We had about 30 people and 13 cars turn up to

our June Club night on 27th June it was hosted by

the High Sherriff of Belfast Alderman Tom Haire.

The cars drew an enormous amount of attention

from people visiting the grounds in front of the

City Hall, some who were tourists and some

wanted their picture taken in or beside the cars.

After spending time talking to the people gathered

we moved inside the City Hall to meet up with the

High Sherriff. He spoke about the history of the

City and the City Hall in particular and we had an

explanation as to who was in the large portraits

followed by a short question and answer session

we then had our refreshments supplied by the

High Sherriff.

A collection was taken of those members present

and given by the club to High Sheriff’s charity. This

was given by the High Sherriff to the Northern

Ireland Prison Service Central Benevolent Fund.

We then proceeded for a short tour of the City

Hall taking in the latest addition to the City Hall.

It is a reflection of Old Belfast at a cost of £1.3

miHion. The exhibition divides into 6 themes of

the City, it was like a trip down memory lane for

some of us whilst others would probably would

never have seen Belfast so depicted. Artefacts

from the Home Rule Period were on display on the

original table used for signing the Utster Covenant.

After spending some time at the City Hall we left I

hope with some knowledge of how far Belfast has

come into the 21at century.

Our thanks to Tom Haire, High Sherriff for hosting

such an enjoyable evening.

JULY CLUB NIGHT Tuesday 25th July 2017

On the evening of 25th July we held our July meeting at Sir Thomas and Lady Dixon Park where some

twenty seven cars and their occupants assembled.

It was a mild, dry evening, just perfect for wandering round the park enjoying the great variety of roses

grown here.

Unfortunately our cars were not displayed in their usual location beside Wilmont House due to a double

booking so we had to be content with a wooded and grassed area along the main driveway. However

most folk managed to stroll around the rose garden ending our evening with tea, coffee, lovely scones

and shortbread. This was organised by Sheila Adair and her band of willing helpers.

Our thanks go to all the people who planned this pleasant evening event.

Ann R Gardiner

Some twenty five members and

friends in their cars gathered

at the Texaco Service Station

at Upper Ballinderry . From

here we went in two groups to

Sandy Bay where we picked up

our boat, the Island Warrior, for

a short crossing to Rams Island

in Lough Neagh. Our skipper

and guide for the evening was

Michael Savage, a member

of the group tasked with the

preservation of this island.

He explained how this island

owned by the O’Neill family

was a mere six acres in size

before the water level in Lough

Neagh was lowered by two and

a half feet, to prevent flooding

on the land surrounding the

lough. This resulted in the island

AUGUST CLUB NIGHT – TUESDAY 29TH AUGUST 2017

VISIT TO RAMS ISLAND IN LOUGH NEAGH

growing to some twenty acres

in size.

Michael led our party round the

island explaining the features of

the habitat, birds and animals

that occupy the island. On our

way round the island he pointed

out engravings on the trees cut

out by the American and Belgian

troops who occupied the island

during the war when it was used

as a base for flying boats which

were delivering crucial parts

for the numerous flying boats

which were based around Lough

Neagh. He also explained the

history of the tower and house,

the remains of which still exist

despite having been constructed

hundreds of years ago.

At the end of the tour we all

gathered in the barge where

the ladies of the club provided

supper of tea, coffee, scones

with jam and cream and biscuits.

Thanks to Sheila and her band of

helpers for this enjoyable repast.

Our Chairman Dennis Mitchell

thanked Michael Savage for his

very enjoyable trip and tour of

the island after which we were

all shipped back to the mainland.

Thanks to Dennis and Iris

Mitchell for organising such an

enjoyable evening.
