The National Championships will take place from Tuesday 21st – Thursday 23rd with the European Championships on Wednesday 22nd and Thursday 23rd and will see competitors and visitors from no less than 15 countries visit Athy, giving the event a truly International flavour.

Athy in Co Kildare has hosted this prestigious event on three previous occasions, the first of which was in 1931, the first ever Ploughing Championships, the second in 1955 for the Silver Jubilee and last in Kilkea in 1985. Athy is one of the best tillage belts in the country and the Fennin Farm on the Stradbally Road is an ideal location for the 2010 Ploughing Championships. The land is extremely good; the location is excellent and accessible, all these factors should make this year an extremely successful one as it did in 2009.

Not just for the ploughing or machinery enthusiast, the Ploughing Championships has something for everyone…including renewable energy enthusiastic's. So why not come along and visit our stand - C&F Green Energy Ltd. We will have our wind turbine head's on display where you will be able to see the workings of this new strong sleek design.
