7pm we'll get there with a start time of around 7:30pm so that later start gives us a nice bit of wiggle room on a Friday evening.

One of the VWs for tomorrow evening is not running 100% which means there will only be 3 VeeDubs which isn’t enough.
This sadly means we’ll have to cancel our trip to Barretstown. I’ll contact Barretstown now and advise but I’m confident we’ll have a much better response for the August Disco Run.

Not to worry Andrew. We'll hopefully see your name on the August list (y)

It's a shame really as this is the first time we have ever had to cancel a Barretstown run. Onwards and upwards!

Our next Disco Run is Saturday August 3rd - no more have been assigned for the year so this is our last Barretstown Disco Run of 2019

Time is to be confirmed but I would imagine as it's a Saturday it will be a 6:20pm meet up in Ballymore Eustace and then head to Barretstown for about 6:30/6:45pm. As soon as I find out a definite time I will let you all know.

Please add you name to the list and let's make this the biggest and best one yet (y)

Alright Eircoolers, we're back at Barretstown this Saturday, August 3rd, for the last disco run of 2019 so let's band together and make it the best one yet.

We've got hundreds of members and those members have friends with old VWs so surely we can get everyone together for this. We've had members driving from as far away as Galway in a Beach buggy and a soft top Beetle (and back again in the cold) so how about some Eircooled folk on the east coast? It's a fantastic night and you won't have ever done anything like this before so add your name to the list and be part of something special.

We're asking members in Meath, Kildare, Dublin, Laois, Wicklow and Wexford to get your beautiful VWs out and join your clubmates from around the country and be part of this amazing experience.

*Email update from Barretstown regarding times*

Evening programme is scheduled to start at 7:00pm. I would propose a 6:30ish arrival time, so that we can check you in and have enough time to get ready to surprise the campers.

For us that means we would like to leave Ballymore Eustace by 6:20pm. Will we say to meet there anytime after 6pm, have a quick natter & a giggle and then head for Barretstown at 6:20pm?

Let's see if we can get more than 4 VWs eh? Anyone else want to be part of this wonderful experience? Anyway, it's a great excuse to get your old VeeDub out for a spin..........in pretty regal surroundings too (y)

Is it VW only? If not, I can bring a BMW E36 convertible on August 3rd.

Hi Ian. We've had an old Renault and an 80's Saab so we'd love to have your Beemer there, and besides, the kids love convertibles (y)

We'll look forward to seeing you at Ballymore Eustace on Saturday.

It's beaten me. All back together but the new (old) alternator isn't charging and the fan belt (including a new one) is waaaaay too loose (I can turn it 360) even without shims :thumbsdown:
