The Thurles & District Vintage Club was formed after the millenium celebrations in 2001.It’s aim is to promote the collection and restoration of all types of vehicles and memorabilia of times past, to display and demonstrate how items work at rallies to which all proceeds go to charity. When we started in 2001 we had only three members but now to date in 2010 we have approximately 83 from all over North Tipperary, Limerick and Laois.
Each year we organise different events some of which are for charity and more of which are for fun days out. The highlight of our year is our vintage rally which normally takes place in Corbally Thurles, at which we have raised large sums of money for North Tipperary Hospice. At this event we would have a lot of volunteers and helpers, their help is very much appreciated.
We also hold a number of vintage road runs every year. Every Sunday the members would travel different parts of the country to support other rallies and road runs. We normally have a meeting once a month to discuss how things are going. New members are always welcome. Our club is affiliated to the Irish Vintage Engine and Tractor Association. This year we have the honour of hosting the I.V.E.T.A. National Rally.
