Waringstown Vintage Cavalcade a wonderful family occasion

Carla Lockhart MP • July 4, 2023

Carla Lockhart MP has congratulated all those involved in another very successful Annual Waringstown Vintage Cavalcade. Dozens of vintage vehicles took to the roads of Waringstown, and big crowds enjoyed the spectacle, on Friday evening. The MP called by to speak with the organisers and commend them for their efforts.


The DUP representative said:

 

“This is a wonderful annual event, that is much anticipated by the people of Waringstown and beyond.

 

It is always a delight to see the range and number of vintage vehicles that take to the road. So much work goes into restoration and upkeep and the dedication of the vehicle owners is only matched by the organisers of the event and their desire to raise funding for charity.

 

The Northern Ireland Kidney Research Fund will no doubt benefit greatly from the generosity shown by the public on the evening. That is good news, all for a wonderful charity that is so strongly connected to the Waringstown area.

 

I want to thank the organisers and all supporters of this fantastic family event, and I am sure like others I am already looking forwards to next years spectacle.”
