The Silage Extravaganza 2015 event organised by the Coolmoyne and Moyglass Vintage Club in Tipperary was a resounding success. As well as being attended by close to 7,000 people, there were two machinery records broken.

The other important message of farm safety was highlighted by the fact that all machines were adequately protected and seen to be so.

The day was stage-managed to perfection by a voluntary team, setting a new safety and organisational standard in how these events can be run. The South Tipperary hospice was the other beneficiary, so congratulations to all involved – it is great to see the financial contribution from these events going to a worthy cause.
