16th February 2026
A Two-Decade Legacy: Around A Pound Celebrates 20+ Years Supporting the Tandragee 100
The North Armagh Motorcycle & Car Club (Tarmac Section) Ltd is delighted to confirm that Around A Pound, Northern Ireland’s premier community discount retailer, is returning as the title sponsor for the 2026 Around A Pound Tandragee 100 Motorcycle Road Races.
Voted the 4th best road racing course in the world, the 5.3-mile Tandragee circuit—often dubbed the “Mini TT”—attracts over 150 competitors and thousands of fans from across the globe. The 2026 event will continue to feature a full schedule of high-octane racing across the technical bumps and fast straights of the Co. Armagh countryside.
This year’s announcement is particularly significant as it marks over two decades of unwavering commitment from the local company. Owners Gerard and Siobhan Rice have been key sponsors of the event since 2005, standing by the “Mini TT” through its greatest triumphs and challenging hiatuses alike.
A Quote from Title Sponsors Gerard and Siobhan Rice:
“We have always been passionate about road racing and the incredible community that surrounds it. Having been involved as sponsors since 2005, we have seen firsthand how much this event means to the local area and the fans who travel from across the world to witness it. We are proud to continue our long-standing partnership with the North Armagh Club and can’t wait to see the bikes back on the 5.3-mile circuit in June 2026″.
Anne Forsythe, Event Director, added: “Gerard and Siobhan are more than just sponsors; they are part of the Tandragee 100 family. Their support since 2005 has been a vital pillar for this race. They are ‘hands-on’ supporters who embody the hard-working local spirit that defines this region, they represent the very best of our local business community. Their support is a vital boost in securing the resources needed to run an event of this scale”.
