Ahead of the 2024 County Ploughing Championships, taking place this Sunday, May 19th (rescheduled from May 5th due to bad weather at that time), the Roscommon Ploughing Association has expressed its sincere thanks to local businesses and volunteers for their support, contributions, and sponsorships this year and in previous years, and for the understanding and continued support shown following the rescheduling.
Treasurer of the Roscommon Ploughing Association, Martina Beirne, noted, “I must commend our loyal and faithful supporters”.
She continued: “My aim as treasurer is to ensure the funds obtained are used to maximum benefit, and that the community of Ballinaheglish and the businesses that supported us benefits from it”.
She also highlighted the positive response she received while “actively campaigning for (new) sponsorship and support” to fund the event.
Ms Beirne also noted the fact that in addition to providing financial support, businesses can also support the event by entering trade stands, which can also help them easily reach a targeted audience and establish connections with potential customers. The big annual trade and machinery exhibition at Roscommon Ploughing always provides an excellent opportunity to be aware of local suppliers, create brand awareness and network.
Ms Beirne wrapped up by acknowledging once again how significant, and indeed essential, local support and sponsorship has been for the association, remarking that “the survival of the county ploughing is dependent on the kind support of businesses and volunteers”.
She concluded: “We are so appreciative of how the community has welcomed the ploughing event”.
