On Sunday March 10th at 11.00am we hosted the 2024 Cullinane Chamois Run for the WVVMC members here at Parsons Garage Tuam. This run is held annually in memory of Mike and Brid Cullinane. It was a bright, fresh, cool morning and thankfully the rain stayed away. It was also Mother’s Day, so we were delighted to see a great turn out and we welcomed lots of Mothers.
We hosted a light brunch in the showroom rather than booking lunch somewhere along the route, we started this format in recent years and have received very positive feedback, so it has been very successful. There were lots of club members and a welcome addition of local people calling in to see the vintage cars and both groups mixed well. We even had two very enthusiastic members of An Garda Siochana on the forecourt for some time enjoying the display.
The committee held our annual collection for Tuam Cancer Care, a cause close to all our hearts, and we raised Euro 600 on the day which is a fantastic amount of money and much appreciated by Tuam Cancer Care. At 1.00pm the group departed in convoy lead by Maurice Burke by the Tuam Bypass and exited onto the R322 towards Kilmaine, Shrule & Headford then members made their way home after that.
It was a pleasure to host the WVVMC and we look forward to the Cullinane Chamois run in 2025.
