The event attracted exhibitors, including displays of stationary engines from a number of Vintage Clubs, from all over Ireland each being presented with a memorial badge.
The venue on the Limerick Road proved to be highly suitable as patrons availed of parking in the adjacent business car parks. Despite a weekend of thunderstorms and downpours the event did not suffer any adverse weather.
