Events

Shortly after 10am on Saturday morning our convoy of 22 tractors, 4 motor bikes, 1 car, 1 recovery vehicle and bus left Clongeen on our journey to Tramore. We headed into New Ross where we had a short stop in gala over the bridge. Once refuelled we continued on our journey into Waterford where we went over the quay and onto the Woodlands hotel for lunch. After one hours break we went back on our journey for Tramore where we arrived shortly after 5 o clock . After doing a few laps on Tramore we parked up our vehicles and checked into the Majestic hotel. On Saturday night we enjoyed a few drinks in some of the local pubs. Shortly after midday on Sundaymorning we started off on our days journey heading in the direction of Passage East where we crossed over on the ferry to Ballyhack and on into Ramsgrange for a short pit stop in Slainte in Rasmgrange and continued our journey into Foulksmills where we returned just after 4 o clock. The weather was great over the weekend and all the tractors made it back in one piece. An enjoyable weekend was had by all.
