Killarney

By Sean Moriarty
<h3>Six members of the Killarney Valley Classic and Vintage Club will set out from County Meath on Wednesday on vintage tractors.</h3>
They are participating in the annual Eastern Vintage Club&rsquo;s Ring of Kerry Tractor Run which is raising funds for the Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association.
Over 50 vintage tractors, including the six Killarney examples, will leave Nobber in County Meath at lunchtime on Wednesday.
After an overnight stop in the midlands on Wednesday night and&nbsp;Newcastle West&nbsp;on Thursday night,&nbsp;the tractors are expected in Killarney town centre just after lunchtime on Friday.
The &lsquo;spectacular show&rsquo;, now a regular feature of the Killarney summer, will bring the town to a standstill for around one hour.
On Saturday morning the group will depart Tony Wharton&rsquo;s farm in Fossa before a nine-hour drive around the Ring of Kerry.
The run will finish with a spectacular drive through the Gap of Dunloe.
&ldquo;We hope to pass through town around 3.30pm on Friday,&rdquo; said local organiser, Tom Wharton, who is one of the six Killarney-based drivers who will undertake the 400km journey from County Meath to Killarney. &ldquo;It is always a spectacular show.&rdquo;
On arrival in Killarney, tractors will be joined by a group of classic cars that will depart Nobber at 9am that morning.
