It was deemed a “gentle leap back into action” following a Covid hiatus for the Loughgall Motorsport Show but it exceeded all expectations.
Not only was the weather on point on Saturday, but the amount raised was approaching £10,000 at the last count, with monies going towards the NI Air Ambulance and Lough Neagh Rescue.
Crowds descended on the event – hosted in Loughgall Country Park and organised by Armagh Lions Club – from as far afield as Cork.
Check out our gallery from Saturday’s event below.
