Last year there was an increase in the number of cars exhibited on other years last year, the oldest cars there were a 1920 Humber owned by Michael Ryan, Slatefield. A large number of cars have registered to attend this year and will provide a great opportunity for all car enthusiasts.
The threshing is always a great favourite with the crowd; John Leamy’s, Dualla Allan Bros 1925 Threshing Mill will be at full throttle powered by TJ Donnelly’s, Clonoulty David Brown 950 Implematic. Credit is due to the large number of tractor owners who turn up year after year with their fantastic array of tractor makes and models all in gleaming condition.
A focal point on the day will be a number of trade stands, whom we would like to thank for their support. If you are interested in having a stand please contact Judy on 087 2197897.
We would like to thank everyone for their continued support and help, especially with our recent bucket collection without which we wouldn’t be in the position to help the very deserving South Tipperary Hospice Movement.
