WWETB car show and open day

[drifterex]

Hey folks,

Pat Bolger and the WWETB run a classic car restoration course, here in Waterford, and each year, have an open day with info about the course and a classic car show on the back of it. I went last year, and it was great crack, nice variety of stuff, even one or two air-cooled. For anyone who knows Pat, you know he's as nice a guy as you can meet, and he's very good at what he does. I think it'd be great to have a few club members cars there, and we could hit somewhere for lunch after, weather is more than likely going to be nice, so should be a good day, and great to see what they get up to in the course if nothing else.

Wow! Well worth the trip to Waterford this morning. What an unbelievable setup they have there.

Every aspect of restoration is covered and it’s a hands on course with a fantastic lecturer in Pat Bolger.

A great event and an even better course. It's such a shame more counties don't do the same. Well worth signing up for the course if you're any way close and definitely worth going to the 2020 event. I think there's a guy commuting from Athy doing the evening course so it's not just for locals.
