The special event was held at Loanends Presbyterian Church on October 14, just yards from the old school where the very first race was held on October 14, 1922.

Some 32 special vintage and classic road and racing machines were displayed, along with photographs and memorabilia in the hall.

Eighteen of these machines were taken on a guided tour of the original Clady Course wearing bibs designed by David Crawford using his nephew Paul Crawford's graphic artwork, which were supplied and printed by Kopyright Belfast.
