More vehicles in cancer rally
The number of vehicles which took part in this year's Mac & Norman Vintage Rally in the Kilcullen area in aid of the Irish Cancer Society was 'way up' on last year's turnout, according to organiser Ann Sully.
There were 261 tractors registered in the event, along with 72 cars of many ages. The number of motorbikes at 18 was down because of a local funeral which many young people attended on the day.
In addition to the registered vehicles, many other owners of various forms of transport took part in the rally, which ended at The Stray Inn in Mile Mile where there was a sunny street party and an auction of more than 80 donated items.
Ann Sully says they'll have some idea of this year's funds result in a week or so. The event was in its fifth year and up to last year had accumulated funds in excess of 130,000 euros.
