Press Release – May Day Motocross 2011

The Mourne Motorcycle Club will host their first motocross race of the year on Monday, May 2^nd, when they hold round three of the Ulster Open Motocross Championship at clubman Norman Green’s Seaforde Motocross Park.

Along with Mourne clubmen and sponsors, members of the Ballynahinch Lions Club attended, as they will be collecting for charity on the day. And everyone at the launch was looked after by Louise Kearney from The Stick Restaurant at Brennan’s.
