We are here in Wales for the weekend, We came without a jerk, After all why shouldn’t we? Sure we came in Paddy’s Merc.

The weather today is lovely, It really is a God send, We are staying in the Best Western, In a place they call Bridgend.

We were just sitting down to dinner When a message came on the wire, We could hardly believe it, when we heard John Folan’s car was on fire.

John was back on the road the next morning With another car he had acquired, So we all set off in convoy To explore the Welsh countryside.

From the Brecon Mountain Railway We saw valleys, hills and streams. Wales—a land of beauty To remember in our dreams.

To finish the day I’m glad to say They surely proved a winner We enjoyed Welsh hospitality As they treated us all to dinner.

This is my first time away from home, I’m glad I came to Wales, There is nothing more certain when I go home I’ll surely tell some tales.

Of the people I met, the best you could get, I don’t know how they all came together, They must have a pull with whoever it is That has something to do with the weather.

We went on a trip to Cowbridge, And then on to the museum, Oh what an experience everyone said, It really was like a dream.

On Sunday morning we went to the show And of course the ladies went shopping, You’d swear they were rich, and hadn’t a stitch The way they came home laughing.

Now the trip is over but we can’t forget The people who organised it. So I’ll say thanks, and thanks again, They surely did surprise us.

I’m bad at names, but I think of John James, He really made an impression, And I want to thank him and the others we met, And look forward to a future session.

Poem written by Mick Feeney giving his thoughts on the Trip to Wales. See also page 8.

4 The John Folan Page

Hello again! In this issue I put pen to paper to talk about fuel leaks and what can and will go wrong as a result (Stop laughing, Paddy Fahy!). On our overseas run to Wales just before I turned off the Motorway for Bridgend I noticed the smell of petrol in the car.. As I was only a few miles from the hotel I decided to keep going and take a look as soon as we got there (bad idea). About a mile or so from the hotel the car cut out and stupidly I tried to start it again and ig- nited the fumes that had gathered in the engine bay. By keeping the bonnet closed it slowed the spread of the fire and luckily the fire brigade were on the scene in minutes, so the only damage was to the engine bay. So folks, what happened to me may be of some help to someone else. Always, as soon as you smell petrol, check to see what it is, no matter where you are, motorway or not or even half a mile from home. Do not attempt to start the car until you are certain there are no fumes trapped in the confined area under the bonnet. Open the bonnet and vent the area well for a few moments even if you have repaired the leak. So now to something that could prevent all this (again I hear a certain Mr. Fahy laughing). Check all hoses that carry fuel, the connections on these hoses and the carburettor overflow pipe for leaks. Look for signs of cracking on older hoses and replace. Check all hose clips and make sure they are tight. It is worth remembering that today’s unleaded petrol is more volatile and less kind to old hoses. So do a regular check …….. Now back to the Wales run, it was a wonderful few days, and we all had a great time. For those of you who decided not to go, it is something you should con- sider on our next overseas run. It was great to see our friends from Burnley - Phil, Margaret and Ronnie - who made the trip down in two lovely ‘Y’ type Fords, and also all the gang from the South Wales Club. The show on Sunday was superb, with a huge display of fine cars and an autojumble - they even found some fire extin- guishers which were pointed out to me (very funny guys!). All in all, it was worth doing. As for the car, it will repair, just got to bring it home.

Until next time, enjoy the summer season of shows, runs and our own big one, the WestRun 2003.

7 The Trip to Wales 8th. - 12th. May, 2003 Last December, for our overseas run, the W.V.V.M.C. decided to attend the Annual Classic Car Show and Auto Jumble organised by the South Wales Classic Car Club. Our contact person on that side of the water was Mr. John James. John and his committee have attended our West Run on numerous occasions.

35 adults and 3 children in a total of 16 cars left Ireland and set out on what was a most pleasurable trip to Wales.

On Wednesday evening 7th May, many of us set off early on our journey and had a pleasant stay in the Hibernian Hotel in Kilkenny. Early next morning we departed for Rosslare where we met up with the rest of the group. Sailing to Fishguard, on board Stena Lynx, we had a very smooth crossing. On arriving the other side we drove in convoy to Bridgend, South Wales and arrived at the Heronston Hotel where shortly after checking in we got an S.O.S. call from John Folan to say his car had gone on fire a few miles out the road. Padraic Giblin, Bill Fennell, Robert and myself went on a 999 call out to help. Fortunately the Fire Brigade had arrived very quickly and put out the fire and we took both John and a shocked Taz back to the Hotel. Nobody was hurt thankfully. On Thursday night, the committee from the South Wales Classic Car Club arrived at the Hotel to meet and greet us. We got a great welcome from them and joined them for a drink before dinner. We dined in the Hotel that night and sat around and chatted afterwards until well after midnight. Friday morning after breakfast, we set off with our friends from Wales to visit the Brecon Beacons National Park and Vintage Steam Railway. This was a very pleasant journey for the old cars and we travelled through picturesque valleys and Welsh countryside. The scenery was truly spectacular. On arriving at the National Park, we took a trip on the Vintage Steam Railway which was a lovely experience. After a long lunch there, we took a different route back to the Hotel , again through country side with breath taking views.

On Friday night we set off to the 20th Anniversary dinner dance of the Welsh Club. An en- joyable night was had by all, plenty of music, craic and spot prizes. John James presented us all with a lovely bronze plaque. Again another late night. The next morning, some of the group went shopping to the McArthur Glen Outlet Malls and the rest of us visited a lovely town called Cowbridge. This was a beautiful old town with lots of nice quaint shops. We soaked up the atmosphere as we strolled through the historic market town. After lunch we set off on a coastal scenic route to visit the Museum of Welsh Life at St. Fagans which followed with evening dinner. On Sunday we all headed off to the Annual Show at Pencoed College. This was the highlight of the weekend, with over 500 entrants on the day. It was their 17th annual classic car show. The Club has over the years donated large sums of money to many charities through this fund raising event, something they can be truly proud of. Everybody enjoyed the day, lots to do and see, bric a brac stalls, bouncing castles, quads etc. for the children and lots of nice cars for the big boys!!! It was interesting to walk around and hear the comments from people about the cars. The preservation of the old vehicles is very much here to stay and the vehicles which were once thrown away are fashionable yet again and to hear a comment like; “ Oh, I wish I had kept that car of mine from years ago”

On Monday we left early to make our way back to Fishguard for our afternoon sailing. On route we stopped off in a lovely town called ‘Carmarthen’ for lunch, it was also a nice shop- ping town. We had a very pleasant crossing back to Rosslare and many of us stopped off in Kilkenny for evening tea before we said farewell and headed for the West. I would like to thank all of you who attended the overseas run and made it such an enjoyable weekend for everybody. John Downes. 8 Vintage Day in Eyrecourt

A very successful “Vintage Day” took place in Eyrecourt, Co. Galway on Sunday, 15th. June. There was an enormous display of vintage and classic cars, tractors and farm machinery, with many great displays of how some farm work was mechanised in past generations. The event was very well organised by Michael Hogan and his efficient committee and helpers. The photographs below give only a very small indication of the sheer size of this display.

A very interesting Run took place on Sunday, June 1st. This was a charity run to aid the work of former All-Ireland winning Dublin foot- baller, David Hickey, who is a noted transplant specialist and carries out major work in Cuba and other deprived areas. The Run was mod- elled on a poker game, starting in Gort where all participants were given one playing card, Dr. David Hickey (2nd from left) pictured with another card was handed out at a stop in Club President Bill Fennell, Chairman Larry , another at the next stop in , Murphy, organiser Linda Meyler and Club mem- bers Joe O’Neill and Sean Casey. another at a stop in Oranmore and the “hand” was completed with the final card on the return to Gort. It was then possible to buy new cards in exchange for unwanted cards after which the final adjudication took place by Mr. John Richards, well-known to Galway Bay FM lis- teners. The event was organised by Ms. Linda Meyler, assisted by her husband Sean, who both live in Athenry. Linda herself was a transplant patient of Mr. Hickey and decided to show her thanks Club President Bill Fennell in conversation with former President, Sean McGreevey and James by organising this event. The WVVMC were McGough. delighted to accept the invitation to take part.

Prizewinners were John Downes, AnneMarie McGreevy and Larry Murphy. A very enjoy- able day appeared to be had by all who at- tended and the organisers wish to thank the club for taking part and the various sponsors for their contributions.
