Volunteers needed for Tullamore leg of Cannonball

 Volunteers are needed for the Tullamore leg of this year's Cannonball, which will arrive in town on Sunday September 11.

It is anticipated that the arrival of 190 supercars including McLarens, Lamborghinis, and Aston Martins, not to mention a number of celebrities, will attract thousands of visitors to the town.

The cars will arrive in Tullamore at around 1.30pm and will depart at 3.30pm. This will be third time that the supercar spectacle will visit the town. This year all funds raised will go Pieta House.

Volunteers are required to help erect crowd control safety barriers before the event. Help is also needed for the post event clean up.

Anyone interested in volunteering a few hours of their time are asked to attend a meeting in The Bridge House Hotel this evening, Thursday September 1, at 7pm.
