AOVC CLASSIC SHOW BALLYMENA 27th JUNE
Posted: Wed May 06, 2009 8:42 pm
Hi all, it is great to hear you that at least one of your members took advantage of the offer from Stena, it was arranged through the Association of Old Vehicle Clubs in Northern Ireland they are the people who are organising the AOVC classic show in Ballymena, it's the one not to be missed You can get all the info on the show at http://www.aovcclassicshow.co.uk
If anybody wants to camp overnight or for the weekend there is a free campsite adjoining the show again get in touch and I will help to organise it for you or your group, why not come up on Friday and stay until Sunday
The show is expected to be a big'n with over 6 acres of hardstanding for the display plus we have all weather pitches for autojumble and Dermot Flynn is doing his car sales on another.
The important reason for encouraging your mates to join you on the day is that the AOVC have stated that will be giving what money they can to support the Ireland Air Ambulance. For those who are not aware of IAA, they are going to be operating 365 days a year out of Omagh, the helicopter works within the 'Golden Hour' which will offer the capability to cover the following areas: Antrim, Armagh, Belfast. Cavan, Donegal, Down , Dublin, Fermanagh, Galway, L'Derry, Leitrim, Louth, Longford, Mayo, Meath, Monaghan, Roscommon, Sligo, Tyrone, Westmeath, and not forgetting Rathlin Island and the Isle Of Man. You never know when someone you know might be glad to see the yellow chopper coming in to take them away!!!
From a 999 call this fully equipped Helicopter Emergency Medical Service [HEMS] Air Ambulance will be tasked, airborne and en route in under 3 minutes with a fully trained Trauma Doctor and Trauma Paramedic on board. Their expertise will allow them to also determine which is the best hospital to deal with that particular type of injury at that time - whether it is a head, spinal, limb or other. The Air Ambulance pilots will do the rest!
Now, if for no other reason, that cause is worth supporting, but the icing on the cake will be you will have a wonderful time and it's soo-soo easy to get to from the south, just take the A1 to Sprucefield, join the M1, this the great bit you dont have to go through Belfast's busy streets, continue on the A12/M to join the M5/ M3 to Ballymena, if your very unlucky you might have to stop at one set of traffic lights between Newry and Ballymena
Come on lads get your entry in before 20th May to guarantee a £30.00 finisher award, just enter online at http://www.aovcclassicshow.co.uk you can sign up for a free newsletter on the site as well, look forward to seeing you all
