[doc] EUROFEST06 ARTICLE IN BELFAST PAPER

["Alistair McCann" <pilot25dmc@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone

I was surprised to see this article in my local paper on friday, thought I would share it with you all.

GULL WINGS COMMING BACK TO LISBURN
The city council has agreed in principle that a "Delorean Motor Festival" should be held in Lisburn next year to mark the 25th anniversary of the production of the famous gull winged car at Dunmurry.

Representatives of the Delorean Owners Association attended the economic development committee to outline plans for the festival which is scheduled to take place from may 24th to 27th 2006.

Corrine Weatherup, Robert Lamrock and Peter Lavery explained the overall purpose of the event was to mark the 25th anniversary of the cars production.

The deputation gave councillors a description of the background of the car and proposals for the festival.  Ms. Weatherup explained there would be benefits and oppertunities for the city if it goes ahead.  A number of councillors spoke in support of the festival taking place in Lisburn.  Councillor Edwin Poots then reommended, in view of the possible benefits for the promotion of the city that the committee should support in principle the hosting of the event.

He also recommended that prior to agreeing to any specific funding for the project, officers should establish precise costs associated with staging such an event.  Both these recommendations were seconded by councillor James Tinsley.

A further report on the matter will be brought to a future meeting of the committee.  The Delorean factory was located at Derriaghy on the site now occupied by Montupet but collapsed after just a short time.

That your lot folks................. Looks like things are moving ahead.
