BIG crowds and even bigger wheels are expected at the 2008 National Truck show, details of which were announced last week.
The event takes place in the grounds of the Clare Marts Ennis on October 26 and 27. All major trucks, trailer, engines, components and truck parts along with aftermarket products will be on display. Interactive exhibits will also be on site in the extensive auto accessory booth area and there will also be an exhibition by Ireland’s number one stunt riding champion, Mattie Griffin.
Organisers, AMP promoters, are revamping and expanding upon last year’s event. According to a spokes- person for AMP promoters, “The new venue is completely tarmac with plenty of space for each truck to be displayed ensuring all trucks are looking their very best and for the truckers themselves there will be free onsite shower facilities. The National Truck Show 2008 is destined to be- come the greatest truck show Ireland will ever know. Expect things you have never seen before”.
Other activities include top drift- ing exhibition by Prodrift – www. prodriftirl.com, an off road 4×4 chal-
lenge, onsite live musical entertain- ment from The Clare Celts and DJs to keep the truckers and public en- trained.
A charity bungee jump is also planned along with a full range of fun activities for children. Traders or vendors wishing to attend the event are asked to visit Www.am-ennis.ie to download a vendors application form or contact Kevin Mulqueen on 086 O850015 or by email kevin@amp- STOP AN ESS LSe
