Carla Lockhart MP • February 19, 2025
Upper Bann MP Carla Lockhart has praised the incredible work of the Birches Vintage and Classic Car Club following their Annual General Meeting, where she was delighted to be in attendance.
Carla Lockhart MP said:
"It was a pleasure to join the Birches Vintage and Classic Car Club for their AGM and to see such a fantastic turnout. This club is about much more than a shared love of classic and vintage cars—it is a group with a real heart for the community, raising thousands of pounds for worthy causes.
A special mention must go to Chairman John Wilson, whose dedication and leadership continue to drive the club forward. His commitment, alongside that of all the members, has made a real difference to so many people.
I want to wish them every success for the year ahead. With such passion and commitment, I have no doubt they will continue to go from strength to strength."
