Bargy Vintage welcomes Welsh vintage group again

The south Wexford based Bargy Vintage Club hosts its bi-annual Irish/Welsh National Tractor Road Run on the May Bank Holiday weekend (1-2 May). This event has grown over the years with more interest from Welsh and English enthusiasts and also from tractor enthusiasts all over Ireland. The event provides a unique opportunity to renew friendships with like-minded vintage people from both countries.

This year’s road run will take place on Sunday 1 May, taking in great scenery from Fort Mountain and back in to Wexford town. Parking will be provided on Wexford quays ahead of a civic reception, followed by a meal in one of the nearby hotels. John Rowe (086-255 0704) of the Bargy Vintage Club said there will also be a function on Sunday night.

This event has been a great fundraiser for local Wexford charities over the years. All of the funds from the 2016 event will go to The Friends of Wexford Hospital to help pay for a €1m MRI scanner soon to be installed.
