A tractor run in memory of Thomas Dunne the young man from Kellystown, Slane who passed away so tragically on May 16th 2020 at the tender age of 18, is taking place on Sunday July 11th.
Thomas was a fun loving brother son and friend to many across the North East. He had a great passion for farming, tractors and car meets and attended many tractor runs himself.
Due to covid-19 restrictions the tractor run had to be postponed. However the organisers are delighted to finally announce that it will now go ahead.
The registration and starting point is The Sally Gardens pub car park, Slane / Rathkenny County Meath from where the rally will take in The Grange, Slane, Tullyallen and Collon.
The meeting and registration time is from 12pm and leaving time is from 1:00 pm on the route below.
All donations and tractor registrations will be donated to the charity Embrace Farm who provide amazing services for families who have lost loved ones through farming accidents.
