As the Dust settles on what was the second Event of 2025 for Blackwater Valley Vintage Group held over in Cullen on Easter Monday last we just want to say a huge Thank You to Everybody from both near and far who came to Support the Event and for your amazing Generosity,there was close on 130 Vehicles signed up for the Run which was just fantastic,we are very grateful to each and everyone of you for taking the time out to come and show your support on the day.

For Blackwater Valley Vintage it was an honour and a privilege to be asked by the Fleming Family to host the Event and all we can say is that the Flemings are an absolute pleasure to work with.

It was great to be able to help and support such a great organisation in the Irish Kidney Association and the great work they do and that is what this excercise was all about and the proceeds from the Event will be of great benefit to the people who are looked after by such a fantastic Organisation.
