Over 200 tractors took part in the run. \ Shinrone Tractor Run Facebook page

The philanthropic farmers of Shinrone, Co Offaly, were fighting over worm doses, trailers of timber and even gym memberships at an auction which took place after a tractor run in the village on New Year’s Day.
I’m told one farmer gave €210 for 5l of Chanaverm, about four times what you’d pay for it in store.

A beef farmer and local contractor went hell for leather for a gym membership, even though I’m told both would frequent the local pub more often than the gym. A local haulier gave London - €650 - for a load of timber worth €150.
Over €15,000 was raised between the run and the auction, which is now in its third year. All proceeds are being donated to the Ashling Murphy Memorial Fund and local charities.
