All members of the public are invited to the meeting ahead of the Ploughing which will take place at Ballintrane, Fenagh from September 17-19 of this year.

A sign has gone up marking the location of the site and preparations are well-underway in the county.

The event has an economic impact of €35 million and boasts approximately 1,700 exhibitors, almost 300,000 visitors across 2 million feet of trade space and of course, over 300 ploughing competitors taking part as well.
