Dear Resident,

The Darren Swanton Memorial Rallysprint is taking place on Sunday the 30th of May this year at the Cork City Civic Amenity Centre on Kinsale Road . Organised and promoted by Cork Motor Club Ltd., in association with Cork City Council and the Bishopstown and District Lions Club, the event aims to raise money for the Marymount Hospice.

Darren was a 30 year old member of the Cork Motor Club who died of cancer in Marymount in 2009. Taking place on the site of the former landfill on the Kinsale Road, the event will see around 100 cars participating on the day. The event will also host a fun fair onsite and there will be food outlets, merchandisers, etc., to give the day a real family feel. The first timed run will start no earlier than 10:00, with the proceedings scheduled tofinish at 18:30 approx.

This event will be run subject to the permission of Cork City Council, the Gardai, Cork Fire Service and representatives of the HSE. A permit has been granted by the relevant authorities to cover same. As the event will be run fully within the boundaries of the Cork City Civic Amenity Centre, no road closures shall be required, and the disturbance to the residents will be kept to a minimum.

I would encourage you to come along on the day, and see for yourself the spectacle of motorsport that is planned, for what is ultimately a very worthy cause. Should you have any queries or concerns regarding the event, please do not hesitate to contact me on  086 836 9091.

Yours faithfully,

Finian Toomey

Event Manager
