Monaghan Motor Club 50th Anniversary Celebrations - 8-9 Apr 06

Posted: April 7, 2006 4:32 PM

People like former Irish rally champion Billy Coleman, Circuit of Munster winner Gerry Mc Namara etc, etc. The response from the general public has been fantastic with photos and newspaper cuttings of the past 50 years given a great visual picture of motor sport gone by. If you want to see this wonderful visual display then the Hillgrove Hotel Monaghan is the place to be on Saturday night the 08th of April. Doors will open at 7pm sharp to unveil the beautiful collection of memorabilia. Dinner will be served at 8pm sharp with admission by ticket only, followed by dancing to American Pie.

On Sunday in the rear carpark of the hotel there will be a display of rally cars for everyone to see. It is important to note that this display is free for everyone to come and visit as we look forward to our annual Stages rally on Sunday the 23rd of April.

Talking of Stages it is all systems go for the Hillgrove Hotel Monaghan Stages 2006. Clerk of the Course Brendan Mc Crudden has laid out 3 demanding stages which will be tackled 3 times. Entries for the rally have now closed and a top ten starting list will be posted shortly, with the complete entry list been posted on the Monaghan Motor Club web site.
