Welcome to the Motor Enthusiasts Club Website. It is hard to believe that August 2014 marked the 60th Anniversary of our club, with some of our original members still taking an active role in the running of the club, and our events.
Over the past 60 years the club has run all kinds of Motorsport related events from Motorcycle Trials in the beginning, to all manner of car events including Sporting Trials, Rallies, Circuit Racing, Autocross, Autotests, Rallysprints, Hillclimbs and 4×4 Trials.
Today we still run Motorcycle Trials and a wide variety of Car events every year. In 1995 we had the pleasure of hosting a round of The World Trials Championship on the Sugarloaf in Co. Wicklow.
If you feel that events like these might be of interest to you then maybe you would consider joining our ranks by becoming a member. All of these events need enthusiastic people to act as organisers and helpers and I guarantee we will find you a job that will whet your appetite for things mechanical. Feel free to contact us and maybe you too could be part of the M.E.C. future history.
