47th Ring of Kerry Vintage Run set for Castlerosse

After several years based in Kenmare, the Kingdom Veteran Vintage & Classic Car Club (KVVCCC) has announced it is returning to its roots in Killarney.

The club’s flagship event, the 47th annual PJ O’Riordan Ring of Kerry Run, will be based at the Castlerosse Park Resort Hotel from April 24 to 26.


The move to the Castlerosse is a significant homecoming for the club. It was at this very venue in 1979 that the late Tom Twohill suggested to the late PJ O’Riordan that there was enough local interest to form a dedicated vintage car club for Kerry.


This year’s run is scheduled slightly earlier in the season than usual.

The main event takes place on Saturday, 25 April, with pre-registration and the collection of run packs at the hotel starting from 9.30 am.

The convoy of vintage and classic vehicles is scheduled to depart sharp at 11.00 am for the drive around the Ring of Kerry.


Following the day’s driving, a dinner dance with live music will be held at the hotel starting at 7.30 pm.

The weekend concludes on Sunday, 26 April, as the “vintage family” departs the hotel at 11.30 am to begin their journeys home.

Full route details and designated stops will be provided to all entrants in their official run packs.

The Killarney branch of the Irish Girl Guides is currently seeking new members for its Ladybirds division.

Aimed at girls aged 5 to 7, the Lily Ladybirds provide an all-inclusive environment where young members are encouraged to reach their full potential through a mix of play, discovery, and community involvement.
As part of the Irish Girl Guides (IGG), the mission of the branch is to enable girls and young women to develop into responsible citizens of the world. The Ladybirds programme specifically focuses on building confidence and teaching essential life skills. Participants engage in fun activities that help them develop a respect for the outdoors and learn to work effectively as part of a team.
Weekly meetings take place during the school term on Monday nights from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm. These sessions are held at the Presentation Monastery School on the New Road, providing a consistent and safe space for the girls to gather and learn.
A dedicated registration and information evening will be held on September 29th at 6:00 pm at the Presentation Monastery School. Organisers have noted that spaces within the Killarney branch are limited, so any parents or guardians interested in enrolling their children are encouraged to attend this session.
For further details on the enrolment process or the activities planned for the upcoming term, Maura Fitzgerald is available for inquiries at 087 7986958.
