On the 28th and 29th of June next, the ‘Ireland Heads West for Emma’ Classic & Vintage Show takes place in Ballybrit Racecourse in Galway. To date there has been a huge interest in the show, with up to forty steam engines already confirmed to attend. Along with the numerous car clubs already booked in, this promises to be one of the biggest events of the year as enthusiasts rally to show their support for young Emma. A number of side attractions already confirmed include the first 2014 round of the Irish Vintage Scene Ferguson 20 Tractor-Building Competition, an original working ‘Connemara Potion’ (using water, of course!), timber-sawing by steam engines and also steam-powered stone crushing. The event, which runs from 3pm on the Saturday, will have a host of musical entertainment and many other attractions, so it will be well worth the trip to the West.
A very special display of vehicles previously featured in Irish Vintage Scene will also take place, and we are calling on all previously featured vehicles to make a special effort to attend. With a good number already confirmed, this will be a unique opportunity to see these stars ‘in the flesh’.
It is very important that exhibitors pre-register for this event so as to help organise the layout of the venue. If registering to be on your club stand or on the Irish Vintage Scene display, please state this on the club line on the booking form. You can register below or, at the Irish Vintage Scene stand at any upcoming event, or by downloading the form below and posting it in.
Camping area, large autojumble & trade stand area.
Calling all Former Irish Vintage Scene Feature Vehicles: we want as many ex-feature vehicles as possible to create a once-in-a-lifetime display! Just put “Irish Vintage Scene” on the ‘club stand’ when registering your vehicle.

Irish Vintage Scene has received the following correspondence from the Motor Tax Policy section of the Dept. of the Environment regarding the upcoming renewal of off-the-road vehicle notifications:
“The first declarations of non-use of a vehicle, as provided for in the Non-Use of Motor Vehicles Act 2013, were made in July 2013. A large number of vehicles were declared off the road during the three month transition period provided for in the Act, which ran until the end of September 2013. A significant proportion of these declarations were for one year, and will be expiring in the coming months. Owners who made declarations during that period and who now want to make a further declaration should be aware that the declaration must be made in advance during the month in which the previous declaration expires, i.e.
– Where declarations were made from July 2013 to end June 2014, a further declaration must be made during June 2014.
– Where declarations were made from August 2013 to end July 2014, a further declaration must be made during July 2014.
– Where declarations were made from September 2013 to end August 2014, a further declaration must be made during August 2014.
512 vintage vehicles were declared off the road in July 2013, 1,631 in August 2013 and 6,802 in September 2013, in most cases for a full year. Renewal notices requesting that owners either make a further declaration of non-use or tax their vehicle are being issued by the National Vehicle and Driver File in the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport for the vehicles early in the month in which the previous declaration expires. However, we would appreciate if, in the event that you are issuing any newsletters etc. to members in the near future, you could remind them of the need to make a declaration during the month of expiry of the previous declaration if the vehicle is still not being used in a public place, in order to avoid having to pay tax on the vehicle. We would also appreciate if you could advise members that they can now renew their declaration online at HYPERLINK “http://www.motortax.ie/” \t “_blank” www.motortax.ie using the PIN number given on the renewal notice, as well as in motor tax offices. There is no charge for making a declaration of non-use of a vehicle.”
So, there you have it folks. In a nutshell, if a vehicle you declared off the road last year is remaining off the road again this year, you need to be sure to make this year’s new declaration in the month BEFORE your current declaration runs out.
