For anyone going to the ploughing championship,STENA LINE have a stand.
It's at BLOCK 3,ROW 35,STAND 680.
It might be worth checking them out if anyone wants to, in case they have any offers for next year.
There was a 20% offer on, last year, for sailings to France.
Site map below.

One of the best quotes I have heard in a long time, on RTE News a young girl is asked about what she thought of the ploughing championship..

"It's Electric Picnic for farmers"

Reminds me John of a neighbour back in the 1970's who fitted a BMC 1.5 Diesel engine in a Triumph 2000 and had a Ferguson 20 exhaust standing vertical up through a hole in the Bonnet

Paddy went to plough his field with a steam roller. Murphy said he couldn't plough with a steam roller. However Murphy was more contented when Paddy told his crop was mashed potatoes. :D
