Farmers, contractors and machinery enthusiasts are all invited to a charity silage cut on the farm of Mount Mellerary Abbey on Saturday 16 July.
The event is being held to raise much-needed funds for the South East Radiotherapy Trust (SERT) and Palliative Care Unit at Waterford Regional Hospital.
The SERT provides a support service to cancer patients in the region by transporting them to and from radiotherapy treatment units at Waterford and Cork Regional Hospitals and the UPMC Cancer Centre.

Behind the idea
The idea for the event came from local farmer John O’Brien, who is urging people to come out and support the worthwhile cause. “We are asking people to come with their own machines and companies with machines to demonstrate, give a donation and do their bit to harvest the 100 acres.”
We can’t cure cancer, but we can try to help make it easier for people who have it and make their lives some bit more comfortable.
Other events planned over the weekend include a charity walk/run, a donkey derby, children’s activities and fun for all.
