Prior to its redevelopment and extension as a major cricket ground, Malahide Cricket Club has joined forces with Malahide Lions Club and North Dublin Rotary Club to run a Classic and Vintage Car Show on Sunday, 21st August 2011 to raise funds for local charities and causes.
Situated in the centre of the picturesque village of Malahide, one of Dublin’s most scenic spots, the Cricket Club usually guards its pitch carefully. But for one day only it will open its hallowed ground to cars and vehicles over 25 years old in a day of fun and reminiscence for all the family.
Grown-ups will enjoy being taken back in time with vehicles from their youth, whilst the kids can enjoy a range of activities such as face painting, storytelling and a chance to play fireman with a real classic fire engine!
Local charities and causes will benefit from the money raised from admission fees which, at €15 for a family or €5 per adult, promise a great value day out. And it couldn’t be easier to get there by DART with Malahide station only 3 minutes walk from the venue. Dublin Bus route 42 stops at the venue and there is ample parking in Malahide Castle nearby, only 10 minutes drive from the M1 motorway. (Please note that there is no public parking at the venue itself).
On a separate note, approximately 30 stewards in total shall be required between 9am and 6pm to provide general crowd observation and gate monitoring, although shifts can be arranged. Please contact Donal Lehane in the Lions Club on 0876536826 should you be available to assist on the day.
Opening hours are 11am to 6pm, and both food and refreshments are available.
Owners of cars and vehicle of any type over 25 years old all are warmly invited to join us on the day.
Further details, including how to show your vehicle, are available on Malahide Lions Club website http://www.malahidelions.com/
