All attendees will be entered into a competition to win a brand new Astra on the day.

The new Astra has arrived in Ireland with an extensive line-up of eight engines and five trim levels.

I drove the all-new stylish Opel Astra a few months ago on German roads. The versions that we drove handled and performed very well. The styling of the new model could be described as an evolution rather than a revolution, but in this area, it goes further than its great rival - the Volkswagen Golf.

The new Astra arrived in Ireland last month with an extensive line-up of eight engines and five trim levels. Engines have seen an increase in power with a decrease in fuel consumption and emissions, in particular the 1.4i 16v VVT engine, which increases its power output to 100bhp yet emits only 129g/km of CO2, meaning a tax band B rating and road tax of €156pa.
