SPN Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 [url=http://www.fordfordsonassociation.com/cgi-bin/show.cgi?d=cork_show]The Ford & Fordson Association are holding a two day show in Cork City, Ireland, on the (Irish) May Bank Holiday, May 5th and 6th. Last year's event surpassed all expectations. A stunning 192 tractors, in all conditions, arrived at the Munster Agricultural Showgrounds. Now the Southern Ireland FFA Area Rep's have decided to hold the show once again. The committee are asking for even more Ford & Fordson tractors and derivatives to attend than last year so please support this event with as many tractors as possible. ..... Come and see Cork-built tractors and all makes of Ford, Fordson, New Holland and the derivatives of County, Roadless and many more gathered in one place over the fun-packed weekend. There will be plenty to entertain the whole family including a range of classic cars such as Ford Escorts, Ford Capris and Ford Cortinas. FNHIR posted some pics from last year's show, but I can't locate them just now. The plan is to have a big display of 1:32 farm models - all BLUE - and a good selection of custom and scratch built machinery models and buildings to show them in all their glory. Roll Call: Who's travelling? Will you be bringing any models/dioramas to show? (need to figure out what space we will need). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPN Posted April 30, 2007 Author Share Posted April 30, 2007 The plan for a model display at the FFA Show in Cork hasn't worked out. Garret, Michael, Leo, Denis and I are all unavailable for various reasons. I still hope to get there for a few hours on the Sunday, but bringing and setting up models isn't going to be feasible. Apologies to anyone who is travelling. S: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
