Again, this year, we are based at the Mount Wolseley Hotel, Tullow, Co Carlow and we are delighted to announce that Frank Hussey, as Clerk of the Course and his team, including Martin Casey as Chief Marshall, have already planned an interesting route for our 2019 event.

The rally will start on Friday 7th at 12.30pm with our welcome lunch, sponsored by our main supporter Barrett Private Insurances/Chubb European Group Limited. On Friday evening we will hold our Buffet Supper and Drinks Reception in Mount Wolseley, sponsored by Bonhams.

Registration will commence on Saturday 8th at 7.30am, in Mount Wolseley and all cars should be away from the starting area by 10.30am. Whilst this is an event, which appeals to the keen competitor with regularity sections, it is also a very social event with opportunities to experience some early summer scenery and social occasions at the designated lunch stop before returning to Mount Wolseley in the late afternoon. Since the introduction of the electronic recording system in 2013 many more entrants are rising to the competitive challenge each year!!

Our Gala Dinner on Saturday night is always a very popular evening and an opportunity to see the worthy prizewinners and share anecdotes from the Rally.

Sunday morning will be a relaxed opportunity to again meet up and following a short drive, the rally will conclude with a welcome refreshment break which will allow people make their homeward journey in good time for ferries or to continue to their homes or extend their holiday in Ireland.

Our allocation of rooms in Mount Wolseley will be managed by a coding system and once the entry form is received the entrant will be given a specific code. This will be used by the entrant to contact Mount Wolseley directly to book the required accommodation. Therefore, early entry is recommended.
