Derryhennett Vintage Vehicle Club near Keady will be holding their 12th Annual Road Run this year in aid of Southern Area Hospice Services. It will take place on Saturday 1st September 2018, meeting at 43 Drumgreenagh Road, Madden, Keady, Co. Armagh, BT60 3LT, home of Mark McIlrath (Chairperson) at 12 noon.
Weather permitting, threshing will take place before the Road Run and the Fire Service will also carry out a display. There will be a dog show commencing at 12:30pm. The route is approximately 14 miles and will cover the areas of Madden, Crosskeys and Keady and will take approximately 1 hour to complete.
Everyone is very welcome to come along and participate with their Vintage Tractors, Cars and Lorries, as well as Modern Tractors. It is anticipated everyone will have an enjoyable day. If anyone would like to come and show their stationary engines, they are most welcome. The organisers are hoping to achieve a number of 100 vehicles on the day.
Please note that all participants must have their own insurance and for health and safety reasons, passengers will not be permitted on tractors.
