Kicking off an exciting three days at the National Ploughing Championships, Macra na Feirme launched its upcoming national fundraising night at the dogs – Racing for Macra – at its stand.
At the launch were Macra National President, Kieran O’Dowd; Kilcohan Greyhound stadium manager, Carl Pallas; Macra national chairman, Ronan Feighery; and Paddy Delaney, Macra Leinster vice-president along with greyhounds Maggie and Ricky, special guests for the launch.
Macra na Feirme National president, Kieran O’Dowd, said: “Macra are delighted to invite you all to our gathering, Racing for Macra. This is the first national fundraising night at the dogs we have organised. It’s set to be a fun and entertaining night out and will also make a huge contribution to an organisation that is doing great work for rural young people. Come along and support Macra clubs across the county while you have a great night out!”
The Racing for Macra national fundraiser will take place on the 30 November in Waterford, Mullingar, Cork and Galway and will be a chance for past and present members and supporters to get together.
