This was the proceeds from the club’s recent Cars and Coffee morning.

“The very successful event was held on Sunday June 1st on the grounds of Glenduff Manor. We had a fantastic turnout on the day with over 80 classic and vintage vehicles present,” said club spokesman Kieran Glover.

A Loop Towards Lyre

Following the Cars and Coffee event, the group took the opportunity to go on a short run, heading in a loop towards Lyreacrompane and returning to Glenduff Manor afterwards for a barbecue.

“Thanks again to all who supported the event on the day, and our club sponsors: BG Motors Killarney; BG Classic and Performance Cars Killarney and Browne’s Agri, Steel and Builders Merchants, Castleisland

“Our next club event will be our annual Car and Hoda 50 Run on Sunday, August 3rd from O’Riadas Bar & Restaurant, Ballymacelligott” said Kieran.
