May. 3rd 2026: Norman Pratt run. Starting in Darnley Lodge Hotel, Athboy.
Don't forget Folks, we have a further option for some who would like to attend the Norman Pratt Run this year
​but who might not be able to stay for the evening meal.
Feel free to register on the morning, EUR20 per classic or vintage car and EUR5 for each passenger.  No, you will not have access to the meal, nor will you qualify for a prize but your goodie bag awaits, you would join a delightful run from South to North Meath and you would be joining us for a lovely lunch at the mid way point of Halla Baile Ghib. And, of course, helping to raise.much needed funds for a very deserving cause. Sunday morning, Folks, at the Darnley Lodge Hotel, Athboy.
