Good money outcome to vintage rally

The latest Mac & Norman’s Vintage Rally organised by a group of Kennycourt people in aid of cancer services was ‘bigger and better than ever’.

Although the money taken in was down on last year, as would be expected in the current circumstances, the turnout for the event exceeded all expectations, says Ann Sully, the driving force behind the Rally.

“We had nearly 300 vehicles entered, including tractors, motorbikes, vintage cars, even an old double-decker bus. We actually ran out of plaques for entrants.”

With almost €18,000 lodged the day after the event, to be presented to the Irish Cancer Society, Ann says she is ‘happy and delighted’ with the financial outcome. “I was expecting maybe €5,000-€10,000 this year, but people are very generous even in tough times.”
