Just over a month later the Groups Lady Members went on to organise a Vintage Car Run which was held on Saturday September 21st again out of Aubane Community Centre with the beneficiary being Cullen and District Special Needs Association with again a great Turnout.

Blackwater Valley Vintage Group plan a number of Events in 2025 starting with a Vintage Tractor Run on Sunday March 30th and the newly formed Group would like to thank everyone who came along to support us on our first 2 Events and to everyone who sent us best wishes on our new venture and if you want anymore information do check out our Facebook and Instagram Social Media Feeds or give us a Call on 087 7924406.
