I would like to thank those competators who came and supported Lurgan show.I was delighted with the way everyone was turned out and took on the spirit of the class.
The judge Mr Raymond Cousins thought everyone drove the course extremely smoothly and with flair and were all a credit to the club.Joycelyn Cousins who has not been at a driving event for some time remarked on how the class was so much more interesting than the normal driving class and noticed how many more people were taking an interest in what was going on

A warm sunny welcome greeted the competitors on Saturday morning at
Alwyn Morrisson home on the Breaghey Rd., Tynan, Co. Armagh.(Some competitors made the journey a day early and enjoyed a BBQ and good nights craic.)
As one entered the field the colourful  obstacles & cones looked great in the sunshine.
The marathon section which went round the narrow roads and fields was very
scenic, while the cones & obstacles proved challenging & entertaining for the
competitors.
After the prize giving Ian Campbell (Vice Chairman), thanked
Alwyn & Lisa for a great event, and for their warm hospitality & the delicious
“B.B.Q”.. In return Alwyn thanked all those who had helped prepare for the event and all those who helped on the day. A “F” day, it was meant to be (according to Sara) & certainly a  ” Fun Day “ was had by all.
Many thanks to the sponsors, McMahon Engineering and Jenkins Trailers who made the day possible.
