Preparations are well and truly under way for the forthcoming National Ploughing Championships, which take place in Cuffesgrange, Co Kilkenny from Tuesday 23rd September to Thursday 25th September.
The pegging of over 900 or so trade stands, the marquees, the trucks and all the site people was evidence that the site build is well and truly under way and is certainly taking shape. Once again this year, there is a huge diversification of stands attending with Government departments, political parties, semi state bodies, sporting organisations, hotels, education, tourism, property, stockbrokers and investment clubs.
A visit to the Livestock Exhibition promises to be quite an experience as most Pedigree Cattle & Sheep Breed Associations use the Championships to “display their finest animals” and promote the breed as well as having the time to talk to potential clients without the distraction of showing classes makes commercial sense at that time of year.
You can learn to drive at the Ploughing and not be a danger to anyone with Sim 2 Learn – a simulated car, truck and motorbike. Newstalk 104-106FM will be situ for the duration of the event, with popular presenters George Hook, Claire Byrne and Moncrieff bringing you their shows from this hugely popular and well attended event.
Hector will again host the HRI’s ‘Go Racing’ marquee and it is set out to be as interactive and hands-on as possible. There will be tuition on the simulator, live racing showing, arcade-style racing games for people to play, racehorse ownership advice and racing commentator competitions.
Celebrity chefs Neven Maguire and Jenny Bristow will heighten your taste buds with their cookery demonstrations, the ICA will be on site again to give invaluable advice and demonstrations.
Not to mention, the machinery demonstrations, forestry village, hunt chase, pony games, bio energy village, tented lifestyle village, auto arena, Stihl Timbersports World Championships and lots more, The National Ploughing Championships in Farmley, Cuffefgrange, Co Kilkenny is the place to be from Tuesday 23rd September to Thursday 25th September. Tickets are now available by calling the National Ploughing Association on 059 8625125 or logging on to www.npa.ie.
