The second annual 'Kadettfest' will be held on Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th May 2012 which is the May Bank Holiday in Rep. of Ireland. We will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Kadett A which is the only model that we were missing this year. This years event which was held in August saw 10 of the 11 Kadett/ Astra models from the pre-war Kadett, to the current Astra J model line out for a photo shoot at the old Asahi factory in Killala, near Ballina. The previous day, a Road Run was held along the North Coast Rd. with a stop for food along the way. Here are some pics of this years event...      Next years event hopes to be bigger and better with a Run again on the Saturday afternoon and hopefully a Pub Quiz on the Saturday night with the main event held in Asahi again on the Sunday incorporating an Opel/Vauxhall Auto Jumble. We would like to see as many Kadett/ Astra and Chevette owners at this event to celebrate this incredibly successfull model. I'll update this thread with further details closer to the date.  |

Here's report on this years event. Had a great weekend and really enjoyed meeting everyone. A hugh thanks to everyone for bringing out their cars. Such meets cannot happen without you. We got 10/10 models this year too which was a real treat & a fitting tribute as the Kadett A was launched 50 years ago. The car of the run was a very close affair. Enda Faherty's outstanding Kadett C was chosen on second preferences ahead of John Unkles immaculate Olympia. Apologies to Enda as I had not votes counted in time to present trophy as he was pressed for time. The car of the meet had a clear winner with Olivia as drivers choice. Worthy winners. Here's a few pics. Car of the Run.  Car of the Meet.  The Line Up.    Entire album Link s993.photobucket.com/albums/af51/clarkey_2010/Kadettfest/Kadettfest2012/ |
