WORLD RECORD ATTEMPT

If you have a tractor, the Order of Malta wants to see it in Thurles next month. The charity is attempting to break a Guinness world record for having the largest number of tractors in one place.

Canadian farmers took part in a parade of 1,231 tractors to set the record in 2010 but the Order of Malta is aiming to get 5,000 tractors to Thurles racecourse on April 27th.

Its head of fundraising and communications Sharon Edge Kane said the money raised would fund the charity’s ambulance corps and help to fit out a new first-aid training centre in Thurles.

The Order of Malta’s ambulance corps provides first aid and ambulance transport services at public and community events. Some 4,000 members work with more than 80 units, North and South.

The challenge was launched in Thurles last night with the support of former Munster rugby players John Hayes and Denis Leamy, as well as Tipperary hurlers Brendan Maher, Padraic Maher and Lar Corbett.

Maher, the Tipperary hurling team captain, said he was very familiar with the work of the ambulance corps.

“They were at all of the 38 matches in Semple Stadium last year, providing vital medical back-up to crowds of over 35,000.”

HILLBILLY RUN

March 23rd, 2014

Filed Under: News with 0 Comments

Hi-my name is Ben D’Alton-I am hon. sec/PRO of the Hillbilly Festival which takes place around the Blessington Lakes in scenic Co. Wicklow on Sunday, June 29th this year. This will be our 10th anniversary and to celebrate we are hoping to have our biggest and best ever festival. The day includes a run of vintage tractors, machinery, vintage cars and motorcycles and includes a parade through Blessington representing the farming, business, sport and voluntary organisations of this thriving town on Dublin’s doorstep.

Participants register in Lacken between 8.30 and 11.30am. Vehicles are on show to the public until 12.45 at which time they set off on a leisurely run-cars and tractors have slighly different routes-but all arrive in Blessington at 2pm to join in with the parade.

At the same time in Lacken there will be a massive field day with entertainment for all the family, demonstrations of traditional skills, stalls, food for everyone-early registrations get a full breakfast and everyone will get dinner. There will also be a programme of music and dancing throughout the day.

We would be grateful if you could bring this to the attention of your members as we look forward to making many new friends at this, our tenth year. We would also welcome anyone who would just like to put a vintage machine on display and not necessarily take part in the run. The West Wicklow Classic and Vintage Car Club are looking after the programme for the day so everyone will be in good hands.

I can be contacted at this email address or by phone at 087 9403049 or you can see us on Facebook at Hillbilly Run

Many thanks in anticipation

Ben
