Indoor Swap Meet, Static Show, & BBQ // Kildare // 2nd December
- Thread starter Mr Browne
- Start date
Hello Everybody (Dr Nick voice)
So we have a lot of people coming selling. Jon from VWSpares will be there in force along with 5 or 6 people mentioned above ^. If anyone knows Ben, Emilio, John Hickey, and the other chaps who sell VW parts for a living will you call or email them and let them know it is free, friendly, and hopefully fun?
So will we have buyers? All I can promise you is a warm dry huge warehouse where you can chat, buy, sell, admire cars, eat, and if people feel like it go for a spin. But sure isn't that enough? Maybe reply to this tread and let us know if you are going.
If anyone wants to set-up their stall or drop in their car on Friday or Saturday just let me know and I'll arrange it.
Is it ok with everyone if I abuse my last remnants of power in Eircooled and send a bulk PM about this to gather interest?

From N4
My preferred route is to take the Maynooth exit and go through Straffan and then join the N7 Southbound at Kill - then follow directions from Dublin
From Dublin
Take the N7 Southbound (Cork/Limerick)
Do not take the Naas exit with the famous big ball (Naas North) - instead proceed onto the M7 motorway
Do take the next exit - Jct 10, Naas South
At the T junction on the top of the off ramp take a left towards the roundabout
At the roundabout (Bundle of Sticks Roundabout) take the right (i.e. third left) for Newbridge (see below)
From Cork
Take the M7 Northbound
Take Jct 10, Naas South
At the roundabout on the top of the off ramp take a right (4th exit) basically crossing over the flyover
At the roundabout (Bundle of Sticks Roundabout) take the right (i.e. third left) for Newbridge (see below)
From Naas
Follow the signs for Newbridge until you get to the Bundle of Sticks Roundabout
Go through the roundabout (2nd left) for Newbridge (see below)
From Bundle of Sticks Roundabout
Continue about 2 miles in direction of Newbridge to the next roundabout at Toughers garage
Take the first left off that roundabout into the business park
Pass through the barriers and security (low-riders beware steep ramps!)

this is a bit confusing. At the top of the offramp at Junction 10 heading Northbound there's a small roundabout, take the 4th exit, basically crossing over the flyover above the motorway towards Naas, then follow the signs for Newbridge (3rd exit off the big "Bundle of Sticks" roundabout).
stupid name for a roundabout anyway...
I think i will be there as i'm up in the area that weekend. I will bring loads of pre 67 stuff, accessories, etc. Most of it NOS stuff. Thinking of selling my VAG Micro fiche reader, NOS portable Micro fiche reader and the huge folder of VAG Micro fiches. Looking for €500 for the lot. Let me know in advance, as this will take up a lot of room in my car.
I have lots of old office desks which can be used as stall type tables so if ye are stuck for room don't worry about bringing tables etc
There will be a BBQ in full flow - I will supply some half daycent burgers but if you want to bring your own t-bone feel free
I have had lots of replies to the email saying "I'll be there" so it looks like it will be at least as big as the Galway swap meet - hopefully bigger. If yer selling maybe spread the word about for your own benefit
