Vintage rally getting set for town - 20 September 2007

BROWNLOW House will be the venue for this year's Association of Old Vehicle Clubs display - with 100 vintage sports cars, family saloons, roadsters, touring cars, open tops and agricultural vehicles on show as part of their autumn rally.

The event which has been held in Market Street during the previous two years will see a change of venue with the cars arriving and parking in the grounds of Brownlow House.

Noel Ferguson, Town Centre Manager explained the change of venue: "The Rally has grown in the two years since its inception with more vehicles participating each year.

"We hope to encourage visitors to explore the various unique aspects of the town, apart from the retail offering Lurgan offers arch
itectural splendour and natural beauty, therefore the setting of Brownlow House and its proximity to Lurgan Park will provide a complimentary setting for the vintage vehicle display. "

Brownlow House will be open to the public for all to come and view the cars on display, with vehicles arriving from 10:30am and leaving in a cavalcade at 2pm.

John Scott of the Association of Old Vehicle Clubs highlighted the significance of the Autumn Run: "Lurgan has been most welcoming in allowing the Association to visit the town each year.

"I know from first hand experience that those visiting in previous years have been surprised at the niche offerings of the town, and have returned on separate occasions to spend more time in the town.

"The AOVC is pleased at the relationship that has developed with the Town and Lurgan Forward and hope to build upon the event with each successive year."
