Opel Vauxhall Club Ireland

Thanks to all that made the trip to Ballina. Great turn out and very high standard of cars in attendance. The voting this year was the closest ever with both winners having tied first choice votes. John Unkles outstanding Manta A was declared overall winner when second choice votes put him ahead of David Kearns stunning Kadett C. Best Kadett was even closer. John Horans immaculate Kadett D GTE and David Kearns Kadett C had same votes after first and second preferences with no third places for either. The higher placing for David's machine in overall vote was only thing to separate them. Thanks to all for voting and congrats to deserving winners.

Also thanks to all that contributed to raffle for Corsa B power steering. It has found a new home with Joe Gorey. Between OVCI raffle and IEC collection a total of €338 was raised in aid of Coast Guard Rescue 116.

It did rain but it did not dampen people's spirits. Lots of very interesting machines on display and great to get the chance to put a few faces to names. Great day out and great company with IEC lads. Here are a few more pics.
