enniscorthyman Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Just wondering are many going to Downpatrick Diesel gala on the 18th October to celebrate the ITGs 25th anniversary. They hope to have 231 in action on the day. I am trying sort out my own travel arrangements, and should be a great day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
