irishdodge Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share Posted January 24, 2009 In regards to duncannon show , we will be having the big Bar BQ on Saturday night but on Sunday night we have now organised a convoy of all vehicles attending to take all participants over to Wexford to the site of where saving Private Ryan was filmed and there will refreshments and food organised at a local pub there for all. we did something like this in years past local areas , Germans , Vikings , Romans , British , Medieval etc etc all poured out of triucks , Tanks , Armoured cars etc and converged on a local village for a small tour and it was just fantastic , so this year we have organised a little bit better and should be a great evening out for all We hope to have a large tuenout of vehicles for the run to the Saving Private Ryan Beach-head. So far we have ww2 allied and axis vehicles from our own group plus some private owners, also members of I.M.V.G going with a large array of post war to present Military vehicles. If you are off that weekend and fancy an event with a difference please come over and oin us. you wont be disapointed. Hope to see ye there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sean101ryan Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 If anyone fancies wandering across the Irish Sea, this a really nice friendly show close to Rosslare Europort. Good local pub, really nice surroundings, beach you can drive on and must be due for good weather this year! Been there for last 2 years and loved it.
