Re: Kingdom County Fair Invite- Sunday May 10th
PIM872's steering went a bit wonky this morning when an old problem with worn splines on the reack resurfaced and tightening couldn't sort it.
So when Baker told me he was passing my way, I gladly sat in as passenger for the day in the '00 Cooper. Grand spin down to Tralee to meet the locals. 3 new members signed up as well which was a bonus.
The Kingdom Fair was just a bit different than I had expected as it was very much an agricultural show and while there were loads of tractors, there weren't many cars. Loads of motorbikes there with quite a few for sale. Myself and Johnny Murphy couldn't decide between a Honda CB650 or a CD175. Plenty of Honda 50s there as well.
The craic was actually very good and we spent more time than we'd probably admit to watching the toss the sheaf competition or the terrier racing. We called a halt by the time the donkey derby was starting.
The weather was glorious and that definitely brought out the crowds.
It was a very relaxed day and great fun with the usual slagging among the usual suspects.
Thanks to Tomcom for getting us the invite and to Baker for the spin there and back.
Photos to follow.

Re: Kingdom County Fair Invite- Sunday May 10th
What a great day, no need for any radio when i had Billy travelling with me.
Some of the activates taking place were lifted straight from Craggy Island, all we were missing was the lovely girls contest which i beleve actually takes place at the end of August.
The highlight of the day has to have been the "sheaf toss”, with the commentary that would shame any sporting pundit panel. A particular lady in a Subaru Jacket ( No Names) kept looking for the "sheep toss"...
A big thank you to all the Tommys for organising today... Now I know where to find the best jumbo Breakfast Roll in Tralee

Re: Kingdom County Fair - Sunday May 10th - PHOTO'S
Excellent photos, looks like a great day out.
Was that an ex-works Chevette rally car in the line in front of the Minis in the last few photos?
Also, there used to be a Jiffy near where I used to live, must have a look and see if it is still there
