Guys, Marty here from Highnelly. We are behind an event at Durty Nellies pub at Bunratty on the 27th & 28th April & I have cleared it with the manager to give FREE brekie rolls & teaaa to all the VW's that turn up & help bling the front of Durty nellies!!!

We are trying to make it an old style weekend (off course you can camp safe if you wanted to stay the two days) we will be giving highnelly bike tours into the folk park, live music & drink, what more can I say, its a great spot for a meet & FREE stuff helps. I'll scrounge some prizes off him as well.

Let me know what you guys think if we can russle up a possie, we will be there with our van anyway doing our thing.

Nice one. Haven't been there in years, but have good memories of visiting when I was a kid.

UPDATE Shannon Bottlenose dolphins at Durty Nellies. Present but unpredictable

Monday, 15 April 2013 00:00
Bottlenose dolphins at Bunratty
(c) Pat Flynn

Day 15: 15/04/2013
Following a busy weekend at Bunratty it appears the dolphins are spending less time at the bridge. On Friday dolphins were present in the morning and in the evening around high water and remained there for around an hour foraging around the bridge. Interesting dolphins were upriver during low water and not out in the estuary as we might have expected. On Saturday they were observed around the bridges at around high water in the morning but not in the evening. On Sunday no dolphins had been reported up to 5pm but may have occurred at high water in the evening but it would have been dark. With the rain over the weekend, the fish the dolphins were feeding on may have moved upriver.
So it might be that the dolphin show is coming to an end but those of you who were lucky enough to watch them had a great display. Any sightings please report to sightings@iwdg.ie.
For more information on the Shannon Dolphins see www.shannondolphins.ie

I rang Marty earlier for more details. While the event is running for 2 days we needed a definite time for VW's.

I've just been asked to play some music both Saturday and Sunday for this. I'll be spinning some tracks between 2-5 each day with live bands playing afterwards.
For the VW brekkie roll part I'll be there myself from 11 Saturday morning. This is lining up to be a great day out so I would encourage as many as possible to come along..................IT'S FREE!!!!

Thats how to use your Van man, Kev was a star that day, now hes got an international platform.......Just had confirmation that a highnelly bike club will be there on the sunday that dresses in 1916 rig outs, should be loads of vintage bicycles around the place & I will have loads of spares for you VW guys to go flying through the folk park, a chance to ring your bell at a few Americans & have a pint at the pub at the top of the owld street inside. Everythings coming together for both days & I have reserved the whole front of Nellys for VW's

If the new baby is up to the day out we'll probably spin over in the van saturday morning.
hope the t25 is "vintage" enough. Are smoky diesel fumes allowed?
