Now in its fifth year the MK1 Owners Club Ireland Region takes its tour and heads East for the weekend of Friday 29th September to Sunday 1st October.
Every year club members from home and abroad have travelled and this year we hope it will be no different.
We have an action packed weekend planned - highlights being our meet and greet on Friday evening, our classic car cruise around the country twisty roads of the rugged Wicklow Mountains on Saturday and a group activity yet to be decided on Sunday!
This is a great weekend and has grown in numbers every year - some spectacular scenery, great roads and of course the great cars!
A real fun day out in your mk1 golf cabriolet or tintop! Pack a picnic and take in the scenery!

I have completed a provisional route but will do it again in my mk1 to check it for problems etc. It's a full day out in the cars from 10:30am doing about 120 miles. Few nice rest spots for pics and lunch.
We have 4 rooms remaining to fill in the hotel which will be released back to the hotel in the coming weeks for general release. So best be quick!
