Sunday, (May 24th) last brought sunshine and warmth to Youghal on a weekend, which saw the Vintage, Veteran and Classic Cars and Bikes on proud display at Farrell’s Summerfield.  And what a display!

The vehicles rested proudly and smugly on the lawn, accepting as their right the admiration and awe of all who surveyed them.  The colours, shapes, sizes and ages of all the vintage, veteran and classic cars and bikes was a kaleidoscope of colour with shining bodywork, glistening wing mirrors, gleaming fenders and lovingly cared for upholstery.  And those were just the vehicles!  The owners were there, equally proud, delighted to stand next to their car and show off – with good reason.   The people came from far and wide to see this outstanding static display and none were disappointed.

The entire day was very well organised, with plenty of refreshments and drinks available. There was a live band playing great music during the entire day, and some made a picnic of it by bringing their lunch and having it on the warm grass.   An unusual sight so far this year, with the persistent bad weather.

The place hummed with activity, and all agreed that this is an annual affair which is always looked forward to.

Roll on next year!
