Birr Motor Club Makes a Move:
Birr Motor club have made a few changes to both the club and their first event of 2008. The club which was formerly known as “Birr and District Auto Club” has changed its name to “Birr and District Motor Club” as and from December 2007.

Secondly the clubs long time chairman Mick Boland has stepped down as club chairman and Bill Ryan was elected to the post on the night of the AGM in Roscrea.

Mick told everybody at our AGM in 2006 that 2007 would be his last year, so his resignation did not come as a surprise on the night. It was more of an end to an era.

In saying that, Mick Boland can only be described as one of the hardest working people in Irish Motorsport. Normally you can talk about someone by explaining how well they did a certain job. But Mick Boland did so many jobs to the highest standard, it’s hard to single out any one.

I know everyone in our club along with a lot of people in other Motor clubs look to this man for advice on a regular basis and he is a wealth of information when it comes to Motorsport.

I know I speak for everybody in Birr and District Motor Club when I say a big "THANK YOU" for all the hard work during your time as Club Chairman.

His replacement Bill Ryan needs no introduction. Also known as Buckshot, He was COC for the multi stages rally for the past few years and he is the man responsible for the huge success it has grown to today. He is another man who dedicates a lot of time and hard work to Motorsport and gets the job done. Everybody at BADMC would like to wish Buckshot the best of luck in his new role.

With Bill stepping in to be BADMC's new chairman, Cathal Mc Grath is now the new COC for the Multi stages rally. We would all like to wish Cathal the best of luck on his Virgin run with the Multi Stage rally 2008.

This years Multi stage rally takes up a new base in the Abbey Court Hotel in Nenagh. Once again the rally is the 1st round of the Top Part West Coast Rally Championship and the 1st round of the Grove Car Sales Midlands East Rally Championship. This will be the 1st event to be run by the club under its new name. The rally itself will take place on the 24th of February. The closing date for entries is Friday the 8th of February.

The rally will start 151 competitors in the event who will compete over 4 different stages repeated twice in the Nenagh area. Their will also be a junior section in the rally. The stages will be new to the rally which should create a level playing field for all competitors. Last years rally winner Aaron Mc Hale (son of rally legend Austin Mc Hale) has submitted an entry for the event. To date the rally secretary has received in excess of 300 entries which is testament to the growing popularity of rallying in Ireland.
