It is with great regret to announce that the GBC 2019 will not go ahead this year. I would hope that maybe in 2020 it will take off again as it would be a shame to see it gone forever.

I’d like to thanks everyone involved, the committee, sponsors and especially the volunteers.

Hopefully see you next year !

Sincerely and on behalf of the committee,

Aidan Coughlan 🙌🏻

So we didn’t unfortunately have a GBC 2018 which we are all disappointed with to say the least. A few of us would like to have one for 2019 but only if we have help if anyone is interested in reigniting the flames for this great event please DM me or comment below !

Regards

They are an award winning ŠKODA and SEAT dealership and the one of the best. Loads of great finance packages available to suit everyone.

Ask for Adrian in sales and he will put you right.
