A Message of Thanks for your Support and Christmas Greetings from Blackwater Valley Vintage Group

In July 2024 a Group of Friends and Vintage Enthusiasts took on the challenge of setting up a new Vintage Group in the North Cork Region,this Group comprising of 10 People brought with them to the table different skill sets and ideas along with many years experience between them being involved in Vintage Events which when combined brought about the formation of Blackwater Valley Vintage Group.

What followed was a busy 3 week period in which the newly formed Group got together a plan to organise an Event which took place on Sunday August 18th,the Vintage Car and Tractor Run which was held in aid of the Alzheimers Society of Ireland was ran out of Aubane Community Centre just outside Millstreet and had a great Turnout of over 100 Entries on the day, it was an outstanding sucess on the Groups debut.

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.

Eily’s Report – 17th December

Dia is Mhuire díobh go léir a cáirde and welcome to my report.

Red sky in the at night is the shepherd’s delight. Red sky in the morning shepherd’s warning. Well if the sky this Monday morning was anything to go by then we are in for some  mighty bad weather ahead. I got a phone call soon after 8am to see if I was up to see the wonderful sight that was lighting up our skies to the East. My iPhone did little to capture the  splendour before me. Any regrets about bad days/nights to come didn’t enter my head. I just marvelled at the scene above me. All too soon the blood red clouds and skies faded into their usual winter coats, as I got on with the task of dressing myself for the day ahead. The day ahead is different for us all, and I suppose it’s up to each one of us to live it as best we can, depending on our own individual circumstances. Not everybody was born with a silver spoon in their mouth and it is wonderful that we have so many good-living people who do so much to make Christmas/life  better for those who are down in their luck. Our local branch St. V de Paul Society did very well in the annual Church Gate collection again this year ,and we can be happy in the thought that the little we gave will be wisely spent on the cause that we gave for. Others organised food collections and further to that I know that  there are people who  look after the needy in private.
