Hollywood Hills Tractor and Classic Run

Hollywood Hills Tractor and Classic Run

Sunday 29th April 2012

The West Wicklow Classic and Vintage Vehicle Club are holding our second Tractor and Classic Run in Hollywood, Co Wicklow. This event is in aid of the National Rehabilitation Hospital in Dun Laoghaire. This Hospital has done excellent work for many local people to help with their rehabilitation following serious accidents and injury.

The route for this run will take in some of the most scenic areas of West Wicklow. Cars and Motorcycles will run on a separate and longer course from the tractors, and all will return to the field for refreshments etc. There will be fun for all the family in the field throughout the afternoon.

Entry fee for the run is just €20 per vehicle and includes refreshments and a token finishing prize. All tractors, Classic cars, motorcycles, commercials etc. are welcome.

Entry to the field is free to all but optional donations will be appreciated.

Anybody wishing to sponsor, or donate to, this event for a very worthy cause can contact the club by email at wwcvvc@baltinglasstown.com, or telephone Ned on 087 6863602

Family Fun in Laragh Woods

Native Woodlands Trust Volunteering Day

Help us get stuck into some spring cleaning on our Laragh Woodland Reserve on Saturday 3 March. Hands on volunteering days are the perfect way to have fun and get some exercise in the great outdoors while making a real difference for Irish conservation – all are welcome.

Using hand held tools and traditional techniques we shall spend a half day clearing paths on the reserve to keep them open for local access and tree planting later this year.

We will of course take plenty of breaks, stopping for tea (on us!) and some lunch while enjoying the spectacular views and fresh air of the Wicklow Mountains.

Meeting point: The Brockagh Centre car park, Laragh, Co. Wicklow at 11:00 on 3rd March.

Booking is essential for this event. To book or for more details contact Kieran on 087 1953629 or at kieran.flood@nativewoodlandtrust.ie . www.nativewoodlandtrust.ie
