A Message from the

President Dear Gordon Bennett participants I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the 2016 Gordon Bennett. We are delighted with the great entry and superb quality of cars for this year's event. I would like to thank all the owners from far and wide who have taken the time to enter and have travelled far to be with us for the 2016 Gordon Bennett. I would like to especially mention our wonderful sponsors Chubb Insurance, in conjunction with Barrett's Private Insurance, and also of course our old friends at Bonham's. Without these two great supporters we would not be able to run this type of event that you, the participants, deserve and we in the IVVCC are most thankful and appreciative of their continued support. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all the team that put so much effort in this year's event especially Michael Jackson, Clerk of the Course, Micky Gabbett, Chief Marshall, Ian McCullagh, Competitor Liaison Officer, Declan Grogan, Logistics Officer, Bernadette Wyer, Entries Secretary and all the other members of the committee without whose help this event would not be possible. I am delighted that we are travelling on parts of the original Gordon Bennett route and lunching in the historic town of Stradbally which was of course on the original route back in 1903. We haven't visited Stradbally on the Gordon Bennett for a number of years now and we are all looking forward to visiting the town once again. My thanks to the Ballinakill Car Club for their assistance in and around Stradbally. Their help is greatly appreciated. Finally, I would like to thank members of the IVVCC and friends of the club for their support and assistance in organising this year's event. If I have forgotten to thank anyone and I have no doubt that this is the case then I ask for your forgiveness in advance as it is not intentional. I hope you have a great weekend and you enjoy the routes planned for you. We look forward to meeting up with everyone during the course of the weekend . Safe motoring

The Irish Veteran and Vintage Car Club

he Irish Veteran and Vintage Car Club Limited was formed in 1963 to cater for owners and non-owner enthusiasts of veteran, vintage and classic motor vehicles. The IVVCC is the Irish representative of the Federation Internationale des Vehicules Anciens (FIVA), the Paris-based governing body for historic vehicles throughout the world. Some fifty Irish-based car clubs are affiliated to the IVVCC. The club has been responsible for negotiating the reduced rates of road tax and VRT on old vehicles as well as the introduction of the ZV number plate system. The IVVCC also works with FIVA in helping to protect our motoring heritage and lobbying government to prevent our old vehicles from being legislated off the road. Members of the club participate in events countrywide, as well as flying the IVVCC flag at worldrenowned events – The London to Brighton, Mille Miglia and Peking to Paris runs among others. Club meetings are held monthly and present a programme of illustrated talks, film shows and a members’ forum. These meetings also provide an opportunity for exchanging information and for general social contacts between members. The club publishes a quarterly journal giving information on upcoming events, vehicles for sale, vehicle restoration and articles of general interest to old car enthusiasts. Our website www.ivvcc.ie has up-to-date information on all aspects of the old car movement throughout Ireland. 2 | IVVCC INTERNATIONAL GORDON BENNETT RALLY

A LOOK BACK AT THE 2015 GORDON BENNETT

Message from the

Clerk of the Course Welcome to all competitors partaking in the 2016 Gordon Bennett, commemorating the 113th Anniversary of the 1903 Gordon Bennett Race. This is my first year acting as Clerk of the Course for the event, and I earnestly hope that you will enjoy what has been laid out for you this weekend. The emphasis this year is to organise an event that will be entertaining for all, the competitive bit is there for those who enjoy it, but there is lots of free driving, with simple navigation, and ample time for stopping off for refreshments. For those starting at The Seven Oaks in Carlow on Friday, we have laid out a simple route back to our HQ at the Killashee Hotel, travelling via the old Quaker village of Ballitore, where there will be an informative talk. The route on Saturday consists of a loop from our hotel to Stradbally and back. All cars, with the exception of the Class A cars, will either travel in a clockwise or anticlockwise direction around this route. The cars in Class A will also travel on the anticlockwise route to Stradbally, but will return on a similar route, this being a flatter and slightly shorter one, more suitable for the earlier cars. Every route will include four regularities, two in the morning and two in the afternoon. I hope that you all will have a go at the regularities, they are simple and all you need is a stopwatch, nothing else. But two things to note please, be careful when navigating, especially at the beginning of the regularities, as the car in front of you may not be using the same route as you, and drivers have a habit of just following the car in front. Also, if you are not bothered about trying to keep to the given speed and there is a car close behind, please let him through. The timing for the event has also been modified this year, hopefully to make things even easier for you the competitors. There will be no stopping at the time points, you simply drive over a wire laid out on the road and your time is recorded automatically. This is all done by a small timing module attached to your car. You already have instructions as to how to attach these, but it is important that they are attached as per instructions. If you are not sure just ask someone else. Sometimes those in the back seat can feel left out a bit as all the action seems to happening up front. To keep you occupied our Competitor Liaison Officer (Ian McCulloch) has compiled a set of “passenger’s posers”, this isn’t to encourage exhibitionists, but conundrums to keep you entertained. There will be a separate award for the best crew. Assuming good weather, Stradbally has a number of pleasant spots for those that wish to bring picnics for lunch on Saturday, otherwise there is a selection of cafés, pubs, etc serving food and other nourishments. Parking in the centre of Stradbally has been laid on, please follow the marshals instructions. On Sunday morning (not too early), we have an easy drive to the pretty village of Straffan, where we can visit the Steam Museum and Gardens. There is a small café here where light lunches can be had before we all go our separate ways. Again, can I welcome everyone to the Gordon Bennett, and hope that you take away fond memories.

An extraordinary life

James Gordon Bennett Jnr

6 | IVVCC INTERNATIONAL GORDON BENNETT RALLY

o many people of a certain age, the name Gordon Bennett will be forever associated with the eighties sitcom, ‘Only Fools and Horses’ in which the main character, a London wide boy called ‘Del’ Trotter was regularly heard exclaiming “Gordon Bennett, strike a light”! It was an apt exclamation as Gordon Bennett was associated with many extraordinary feats... Born in New York in May 1841, he was the son of a Scottish father, James senior, who founded the New York Herald. Having completed his education in France, he took over control of the Herald. Gordon Bennett (as he became known, to distinguish him from his father) immediately raised the profile of the newspaper by sponsoring Henry Stanley’s expedition to Africa to find David Livingston. As a keen sailor he was to become the youngest ever Commodore of the New York Yacht Club and served in the forerunner of the US Navy during the Civil War. In 1866 he won the first trans-Atlantic yacht race between three US yachts. The race started in New Jersey and ended at the Isle of Wight. This may have whetted Gordon Bennett’s love of the challenge of a bet. After settling in France, he founded the Paris Herald which was the forerunner of the International Herald Tribune. He was also one of the founder members of the Winchester Polo Club, the first in America. He also sponsored football and expeditions to the North Pole. He can be said to have started international motor racing through his sponsorship of the Bennett Trophy races from 1900 to 1905; a trials course in the Isle of Man was named after him. He gave a trophy for longdistance ballooning in 1906 that started the modern sport (the international Gordon Bennett balloon race still continues). He also gave a cup for powered air racing. So it’s not surprising that his name become widely known in Europe, where he is remembered perhaps better than in his homeland.

In Ireland, his name will be forever associated with the International Motor Race between Countries. In 1902, the race had been won by the British Team and Selwyn Frances Edge (later to become a Land Speed Record Holder and owner of AC Cars). As the victors, it fell to Great Britain to host the next race. However as road racing in Britain, at that time, was against the law and unpopular amongst many, so Edge amongst others, lobbied to bring the race to Ireland. As we know they were successful and in 1903, Ireland experienced the spectacle of high speed motors thundering around the rough tracks that constituted the race circuit. The whole affair did have a positive effect on the economy but its effect on the emerging enthusiast cannot be calculated. It would be fair to say that it caused many to want motors and ensured that motor sport in Ireland was to have a secure future. One of those who lobbied to bring the race to Ireland was R.J. Macready, a recordbreaking cyclist, who had been Secretary of the Vagabond Club (Cyclists). ‘Arjay’, as he was known, became a convert to motor cars after Edge brought him for a drive in his car. Arjay helped form and became Secretary of the Irish Automobile Club formed in 1901, to promote and support motor racing in Ireland. Now known as the RIAC, it is the home of Motor Sport in Ireland. Gordon Bennett, lived his life as a playboy and managed to spend all his money in his lifetime. He died in France in May 1918. In his time he was regarded as vulgar in his publications and his social exploits. He sponsored, and thanks to him, we have international motor racing, sailing, air races and ballooning. His enthusiasm has made the world a smaller place... For the last forty two years, his sponsorship of the race has been remembered in Ireland annually with the IVVCC International Gordon Bennett Rally. Long may it continue...

IVVCC INTERNATIONAL GORDON BENNETT RALLY | 19

Stradbally (Irish: An Sráidbhaile, meaning ‘the (one) street town’) is a town in County Laois. It is known for the birth of motor racing, the Steam Rally, and Electric Picnic. Stradbally comprises a long linear street with two squares on the western side – The Market Square and The Courthouse Square. Milling was an important activity in the development of the town, but has now become obsolete and the structures have been adapted to provide a quality residential development in the centre of town. The main function of the town is that of a service centre for the surrounding agricultural hinterland. In 2012 there were reports of a ‘Bigfoot’ sighting in the woods on the outskirts of the town!

Stradbally Hall

The history of Stradbally reaches from the 6th century when a monastery was established at Oughaval, close to the town and within the present-day parish. Stradbally later developed under the influence of the Cosby family, owners of Stradbally Hall, located west of the main street, at the end of the 17th century.

British Isles, and their secretary, Johnson, suggested Ireland as the venue because racing was illegal on British public roads. The editor of the Dublin Motor News, Richard J. Mecredy, suggested an area in County Kildare, and letters were sent to 102 Irish MPs, 90 Irish peers, 300 newspapers, 34 chairmen of county and local councils, 34 County secretaries, 26 mayors, 41 railway companies, 460 hoteliers, 13 PPs, plus the Bishop of Kildare and Leighlin, Patrick Foley, who pronounced himself in favour. Local laws had to be adjusted, ergo the 'Light Locomotives (Ireland) Bill' was passed on 27th March 1903. Kildare and other local councils drew attention to their areas, whilst Queen's County declared “that every facility will be given and the roads placed at the disposal of motorists during the proposed race”. Eventually Kildare was chosen, partly on the grounds that the straightness of the roads would be a safety benefit. As a compliment to Ireland the British team chose to race in Shamrock green[a] which thus became known as British racing green, although the winning Napier of 1902 had been

painted olive green.

STEAM RALLY AND STEAM MUSEUM Stradbally is famous for its Steam Rally, an annual gathering of enthusiasts of steam-powered vehicles, held in the grounds of the Cosby estate at Stradbally Hall every August bank holiday weekend. Traction engines and other steampowered vehicles are brought to the rally and displayed and demonstrated, and a steam railway offers rides along a short track. There is also a Steam Museum in Stradbally Town itself.

STRADBALLY WOODLAND RAILWAY In the forest skirting the field where the rally is held is a Steam railway operated by volunteers of the Irish Steam Preservation Society. It began with the acquisition of one of the Guinness company's steam engines, No 15 built in 1895 and a few coaches in 1966. In 1969 it was replaced by a then surplus steam locomotive, part of BNM's failed experiment in Steam Traction: No2/LM44, built in 1949.

BIRTH OF MOTOR RACING On Thursday, 2 July 1903 the Gordon Bennett Cup ran through Stradbally. It was the first international motor race to be held in Ireland, an honorific to Selwyn Edge who had won the 1902 event in Paris driving a Napier. The Automobile Club of Great Britain and Ireland wanted the race to be hosted in the 20 | IVVCC INTERNATIONAL GORDON BENNETT RALLY

Ballitore is a charming village founded by the Quakers in the 1700's. Due to the writings of Mary Leadbeater and her correspondence with such people as Mary Edgeworth and Edmund Burke, Ballitore is widely known. Ballitore takes its name from the Gaelic ‘Baíle’ meaning a town, and 'Togher' meaning a marsh. In 1685 two Quakers, John Bancroft and Abel Strettel, arrived in County Kildare intending to create a Quaker community. They found a suitable spot beside the River Griese at Ballitore and started to build what became the only planned Irish Quaker settlement. Wool and floor mills were built to provide work, whilst the rich farmland provided food. Ballitore has several restored historical buildings, including The Meeting House, which was built around 1708 and the Leadbeater House. There is also a Quaker burial ground. The former Quaker Meeting building is now a small museum containing many artefacts relating to local Quaker history.

The Quaker School in Ballitore was founded by Abraham Shackleton (1697– 1771), a young Yorkshireman, in 1726,

catering for Quakers from many parts of Ireland as well as both Protestant and Catholic local children. It opened with 38 pupils and continued in existence until 1847. Abraham Shackleton had come to Ballitore from England and set up a boarding school for boys. He had advanced views on education, the school attained an international reputation and catered for pupils of all religions besides the young Quakers for whom it was first established. While the school has since been demolished, a surviving rubble and red brick arch (1726) marks the original entrance to its boundary wall. Pupils came from as far away as Bordeaux, Jamaica and Norway to stay and study in the school, staying in a row of houses in the village whose attics had been knocked into one long room. Through Mary Leadbeater's Annals of Ballitore a very important historical legacy was left to the people of Ballitore. Within these writings, she describes the events and characters of the Ballitore of her lifetime. Today, a small museum, numerous buildings and the old village cemetery reflect the Quaker Tradition. During the rising of 1798 Ballitore was pillaged and burned by both troops and insurgents. The Quakers played key roles in restoring and rebuilding the village. In 1975 the meeting house of the Society of Friends (Quakers) which had fallen into ruin was restored by Kildare

Leadbeater House

County Council as its contribution to the European Architectural Heritage Year, and it has served as the library for the Ballitore area since then. The museum, which is incorporated into the library, contains a selection of artefacts and memorabilia of a mainly local nature. Items of a Quaker interest also feature and include a wedding dress and bonnet, worn by Marian Richardson (nee Wakefield) at Ballitore in 1853. In the entrance hall are the door and lintel stone from the original Shackleton home at Harden in Yorkshire which was built in 1660. Also in the entrance hall is a ledger dated 1807-1810 for the Shackleton Mills at Lucan. Amongst the Ballitore manuscripts on display are Shackleton letters and notebooks which contain water colours by Mary Shackleton and the Ballitore Magazine for July 1809.

SHAKER STORE The Shaker Store has on permanent show the largest selection of Shaker Furniture in Ireland. Visitors can see the beauty and simplicity of Shaker design at its best. A trip to the showrooms will be a memorable and enjoyable occasion

GORDON BENNETT front cover 2016

A Pit stop for the Mercedes Team in the 1903 Gordon Bennett No 4 Jenatzy and No. 12 Foxhall Keane

24 | IVVCC INTERNATIONAL GORDON BENNETT RALLY

Artist

Jim Cullen This year’s Gordon Bennett front cover picture was painted by Jim Cullen for the 2012 Gordon Bennett Rally front cover and indeed the painting was raffled at the Gordon Bennett banquet on the Saturday night, with all proceeds going to the Irish Guide Dogs for the blind. The picture portrays the 1903 Gordon Bennett winner Jenatzy, driving a Mercedes (No. 4). In 1974 the Irish Veteran and Vintage Car Club (IVVCC) started to commemorate annually, the Gordon Bennett Race, which first ran on 2nd July, 1903, over a course on roads taking in counties Kildare, Carlow and Laois. Jim Cullen has painted pictures of various cars which competed in the 1903 race. The makes involved were Mercedes (Germany), Napier (England), Panhard (France), Mors (France), Winton (USA) and Peerless (USA). The last picture Jim painted for the GB Rally was the 2012 one which featured Jenatzy driving a Mercedes to victory and passing a Winton on a straight between Athy and Kilcullen. Jenatzy averaged 49.2mph for the race, beating DeKynff on a Panhard and Farman, also on a Panhard, both averaging just over 47mph. Jenatzy was probably doing 80mph in the picture. This is Jim’s favourite painting of the winning Mercedes which is one of Jim’s favourite car marque. Jim and his younger brother Des, were farmer’s son. They lived in Browns Castle, Taghmon, a village ten miles from Wexford. The family moved to Dublin in 1946, where Jim went to UCD and qualified as a Mechanical and Electrical Engineer (BE Mech/Elec) in 1953.

He worked for 35 years for the ESB and was involved for his first 5 years on rural electrification in the Waterford district. Des went into the motor business and worked with Reg Armstrong for many years before setting up his own garage - Des Cullen Cars. They were both interested in Motorsport and initially were involved in the motor cycle sport. They then got involved in car trials and rallying in the ‘50’s, ‘60’s and ‘70’s. In the year 2003 they won the 100th Anniversary Gordon Bennett Rally in a 1929 Riley Biarritz.
