The show is in memory of my late dad Graham Gillespie who was a great lover of all things cars. He loved the classics as it reminded him of his younger days and he lived the modern cars for the performance.

Also we are dedicating this years show to I@an Ian Cummins who sadly passed away earlier this year. Ian was a gentleman, had a great passion for cars and was a long term supporter of the show. He will be sadly missed.

We have lots happening on the day, Show n Shine, Live Arena, Live music, trade Village, kids entertainment and much more. Details to follow shortly.

Be sure to spread the word.

🚗Parked Cars 🚗

Help us reach your bins 🚛

On bin day, parked cars can stop collection crews from accessing your bins safely.

Here's a few tips to help our crews go where they need to empty your bin :
🚗 Avoid parking where the bin lorry needs to go
🗑️ Leave your bins where they can be easily reached.
⏰ Have them out by 7am.

A small change can help keep collections running smoothly for everyone. 🙌

Our Emergency Department at Altnagelvin Hospital is extremely busy today.

🏥 118 patients waiting for treatment
➡ 74 patients awaiting admission

🛏️ We are urging families to please collect your loved ones from hospital as early as possible if they have been declared medically fit for discharge. This will free up beds for those waiting in our Emergency Departments.

📲 If your condition is urgent rather than an emergency, we encourage you to seek the assistance of your local GP, Community Pharmacy or call the Phone First service from 8am – midnight where experienced healthcare professionals will advise you on the best route and location for treatment. The Phone First number is 0300 020 6000

🚨 The volume of patients in our Emergency Department makes it very challenging for space. Please attend alone where possible.

🚑 If you have a medical or mental health emergency, then you should always call 999 or proceed immediately to your nearest Emergency Department.
