The Breakfast Roll 2026

[Coxy]

Having never been to the Breakfast Roll before, can one show up anytime between 11-2 or is it best to be there at 11?

You will be more than welcome to Loughmore and the Cottage Tea Rooms. Arrive whenever suits you as people come and go during those times. Some arrive early and have to leave almost straight away while others will stay well into the afternoon, either eating, talking, drinking coffee inside or chatting all things VW outside. It's a very relaxed gathering, that is more about getting VW owners out after the long winter, talking face to face with other VW owners, as opposed to online.
Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday. Cathal

At least with the amount of rain we've been having all the salt is now washed away! First event of the year so it'd be great to see a good turnout for Coxy. Tomorrow is actually supposed to be better then recent days. Hope to see many of ye there.

I just checked and it says it’s dry all day! WooHoo

Disaster struck on Thursday for me. Cows broke into the shed I have my yoke stored in and broke the back lights and scratched the paint all up I might have to go in a Tiguan or VRS instead

Sorry to hear that. Sure come on up in the daily driver anyway and have some breakfast.

Great day! First time going to an eircooled event, and even though couldn't bring my yoke and had to take the daily driver, still nice to meet such sound people and cheer me up after what happened! The sticker and magnet helped

I want to say a massive thank you to everyone that came out last Saturday for The Breakfast Roll, the first aircooled VW meeting of the year. It had to have been the largest ever. I ordered 50 fridge magnets; one for each car, thinking, because it’s February, I’d have quite a few left over but they disappeared so quickly, and in reality I could have ordered more as the VWs kept arriving throughout the day. That will give you an indication of the numbers there in Loughmore. I know that people made the journey from Galway, Mayo, Dublin, Kildare, Cork, Kerry, Waterford, , Meath, Wexford, Carlow, Kilkenny, Limerick and many more.
It was incredible to see everyone laughing, talking and checking out the array of classic aircooled VeeDubs in the village. Online is great but you can’t beat face to face. It’s also a brilliant way of networking, getting help with your restoration project and sourcing parts.

Thanks to Graham Cullen and CM Signs for providing the Breakfast Roll stickers. Graham and his team always take time to design and print the Breakfast Roll stickers when they are busy with other orders. Thanks again Graham and all of your team at CM Signs

Thanks as always to Mary Fogarty and her colleagues at The Cottage Loughmore for looking after us all so well and feeding us the most delicious Tipperary breakfasts. The kitchen staff and floor staff didn’t get to sit down all day but despite how tired they must have been they smiled and made each and every one of us feel so welcome.

Thanks to John Knightly for bringing along some stickers from Knightly’s Rusty Wonderland which Iwas able to give out to people on the day too.

Well done to Peter Murphy for organising a convoy from Galway which grew in size when the Kerry contingent joined at Limerick.

Here are a few of my photos from the day, a day that would not have happened without the help and support of everyone in our classic aircooled Volkswagen community.

If you have a Volkswagen that isn’t on the Beetle.ie Census, why not add it and tell us a little something about it. Www.beetle.ie
