Spring Rally, Sunday May 21st 10am at Russborough House

Hi everyone

Next Sunday morning we gather for our Spring Rally, starting from the ever splendid Russborough House on the N81 just south of Blessington.    Our plan is to gather at 10am to meet, have a chat and maybe some refreshments in the tea rooms.

We plan to leave at 11am for a drive through Wicklow and Kildare for a lunch stop in Kildare Town where there are a number of options for lunch.  The picnic option is to continue on to the afternoon stop at Lullymore Heritage & Discovery Park where facilities are available.  Full details are in the members mailshot distributed a few weeks back.

Hope we get dry weather and can see as many members and cars as possible on Sunday morning.
