Limerick vintage club hits the road in support of local charities


A vintage Limerick club hits the road again with its annual charity run.
Knockdown Vintage Club will be back with its vintage run, on Sunday, March 26. On the day, registration will commence at noon in The Knockdown Arms, in Dromin, Co Limerick.
This year, the proceeds will go to three “very worthy” local charities – Abbeyfeale District Search and Rescue, Friends of St Ita’s Community Hospital, as well as Drumcollogher and District Respite Care Centre.
Speaking of the charities, Carol Noonan from Knockdown Vintage Club, commented: “All three charities offer vital services to our community and are well deserving of our support.”
She added: “These charities have impacted on the lives of many families in our community and further afield, and it is our privilege to assist them in their endeavours.”
On the day, light refreshments will be served, and the club will welcome all vintage cars and vehicles. After the run, a raffle will be held with a special draw for all participants, as well as an auction.
In the afternoon, there will be live music from 4 to 6 pm, with Big Maggie and John O’Sullivan.
“This could not have been done without the help of our sponsors, participants, and the general public. Your continued generosity is much appreciated,” commented Carol.
According to the club member, since their foundation in 2010, Knockdown Vintage Club has raised “in excess of” €50,000 for several charities, and “has gone from strength to strength.”
