DESPITE heavy overnight rain which may have deterred a few visitors and exhibitors, the 26th annual Holsworthy Vintage Vehicle and Engine Rally, held at Killatree last Saturday and Sunday (June 23 and 24), was as usual a great success and provided a great family day out.

Throughout the two days Mike Johns, with the assistance of some section marshals provided a commentary on the parades and demonstrations in the arena. These included displays of falconry and hounds as well as the parades of vehicles, tractors and motor cycles.

For the full report, and a round up of the area news and sport, please see this week's edition of the 'Post'.
