I rang Adrian Cusack earlier in the week regarding the Mini Day. It will take place in the same venue as last year's event i.e. The Kil Cuan Centre in Clarenbridge in Co. Galway, starting from 11am.

Coming from Dublin, you come as far as Oranmore, turn left and take the Limerick road for 3 miles until you come to Clarenbridge.

Kil Cuan is located about 300 metres after the church on your left. There are big gates leading into the centre.

Hope it helps,

Billy

Lads,

It's a long way from Tyrellspass to Clarenbridge and the event starts at 11am. You'll need to set the alarm clocks a little earlier.

Speaking to Adrian the last night, there's also talk of having a get together the Saturday night before the Mini Day. Apparently entry forms are on the way so make contact with him directly if you are interested westernregion@irishminis.ie
