Paul was recently invited to an event at the Town Hall in Ballyclare to commemorate the 80th aniversary of the 1946 International Ulster Trophy Race. He gave a well recieved presentation about the Ballyclare races and was able to take along some rare items from their archives as well as the actual Ulster Trophy. There was a great turnout of cars from the era, the event was well attended and all in all a very sucessful day.
