Are they still held at Tullow? My father has won several awards in the vintage categories over the last few years at ploughing championships in Ireland and the UK, including a couple at the NPAI championships. :eek:

Thankfully the hobby has not passed on from father to son. ;)

PP, it moves around the country. This year includes the World ploughing championships. I've never been, but there's a few guys from work who always go. None of them are from farming background, but there's a load of stalls with tools and machinery etc., if you're into that sort of thing.
