Breffni Vintage Club held our annual memorial run for 2025 on Sunday 25th May based at the Cavan Crystal Hotel. As is tradition, the run departed promptly at 11am from Cavan and made it’s way to the first of two stops at The Tyrone Guthrie Centre at Annaghmakerrig.
Refreshments were served while everyone had an opportunity to tour the beautiful and impressive house and gardens. The Tyrone Guthrie Centre serves a retreat for artists and offers them the opportunity to focus on creative work without distractions.
The second of our stops on this years run was at Redhills, Co. Cavan where our club president Eugene Markey gave an excellent talk on the history of Redhills and the surrounding areas.
The run finished at the Cavan Crystal Hotel where dinner was served and this years awards were presented.
