4 Provinces in a Classic is launched

The Triumph Classic Owners Club are celebrating the clubs 25th anniversary this year and as part of the celebrations I am organising a drive around Ireland covering the 4 Provinces from Sept 16th - 19th (Friday - Monday inclusive). The total journey will cover 1100 Km (720 Miles approx). The four day weekend drive is intended to raise badly needed funds for The Childrens Sunshine Home - Irelands only Hospice for Terminally ill Children (To put that in perspective - The UK has 42 such Hospices)
The Hospice is in the final stages of completing an extension to their original building but badly needs funds for specialised equipment / final room fitouts etc. As many  enthusiasts will remember we had a similar event 5 years ago (Top to Toe in a Triumph, Sept 2006) and raised €52k for Crumlin Childrens Hospital. Times have changed a bit since then so raising funds is a bigger challenge............but with the TCOC enthusiasm, anything is possible!
