justy 46 Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Last year they celebrated Claas & was a great day out. This year its the turn of Ford & Hew Holland & you can be sure with the popularity of the brand in the Cork area... its going to be one fantastic working day event & a huge static display is also expected. Combines , bailers, ploughing etc will be in full swing . Bankholiday Monday 4'th of August 2014 is the set date.. https://www.google.ie/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&sqi=2&ved=0CB4QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.decourceyvintage.com%2F&ei=nuXUU7j6FLPY7Abmx4HgDw&usg=AFQjCNEzLIJ4uyHHoOauJPkAOVJnAIa14g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bandon & Kinsale are the nearest towns or the city is about half an hours drive if you wanted to make a weekend of it . There is also tractor pulling in Roberts Cove the day before. Roberts Cove is only 10 miles east of this event .. Have you far to travel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justy 46 Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 Looking forward to seeing a few pics if your taking your camera Justin... Yeah ...should be a good day out. It's adds to the show when they put the machines into action. I will be sure and geta a good few pics Paul . I know a guy that sent down a New Holland Clayson, Ford 7600 & 5000 9 days early to be good & prepared for the event. He has them parked in a realtives farmyard about 3 miles from the venue. Otherwise he'd be traveling 35 miles in convoy on the morning of the show. So guys we're getting geared up well in advance. Let's just hope the weather holds.
