He's gone for a few pints before he starts cleaning. He said he'd be back at 7pm to start!

Any word on Euro definitely being accepted??

Long trip up and back if it isn't

You can just take out sterling at an ATM before you get here? ATM at a Topaz garage next door to the venue...

^what Ro said, surreal kinda scenario of all these dubs at the Topaz beside it, and the queue at the ATM, haha

There's an ATM in the main hall too but I suppose that's no good for the entrance fee!

Hoping for better weather tomorrow, cold and windy with the odd shower today. Tents will be much needed and will need much securing tomorrow!

Nice and warm back at the Ramada now, time for a shower and a few beers at the bar!



Good buzz today, nice to be able to stroll around when it's kinda quiet. Should be jammers tomorrow!

Hi anyone got a list of prize winners ? Looks like another successful event well done to all involved. !

Hard work has a future payoff. Laziness pays off now

I haven't seen a list yet but I'll have a look.

Personally I think there should have been a prize for the best club stand. Ahem. Dum de dum de dum.

Great to see you guys the weekend!
I don't know why you bothered with the Ramada when you had that club stand lol

Apologies for the BBQ not being allowed but it's totally out of our control as it's classed as a fire hazard. I had explained this to Ronan last week.

However, Castlewellan is a camping venue and you can eat burgers until they come out your arse!

Some serious motors around this weekend, we are always blown away by the quality of cars that are being built under the radar and come out for out season opener every year.

If you have any feedback, be it positive or negative, please do post it here and i'll try my best to address it. We also have a quick survey monkey on our Dubshed FB page, maybe next time you're on FB you could take 20 seconds to fill it in.

I'm on PM too so don't be afraid to give me a shout. I'll post up the winners list ASAP.

Many thanks from all of us at GTINI to you guys, at the end of the day it's a joint effort between organisers and attendees!

Fair play Ray and the gang,
Just a personal pet peeve, and maybe I'm getting old, but can you address (the small minority) of idiots showing off audio installs.
There was music on PA, and general chatter making the place loud enough, there was a few in particular, blaring dub-sh1te so loud I just skipped the cars in their area.

Edited to say, these were indoor cars (two at least) with one or more outside the main events, but still in show area..
Not some random looper in the carpark

I understand exactly where you're coming from.
There was one guy in particular beside the food stalls I pulled as we have residents in the area to respect also. Inside I didn't notice too many this year but it's a point well noted regardless

Show & shine results as promised. Not linking these with pics guys, it's purely a list.

Some of them are definitely in the photo thread on here started by user spuogas but it might take a bit of time to go through some to match them with the prizes.

Between everyone who was there I'm sure we could figure it out!
