On the evening of Monday 17th July, The De Courcey Classic and Vintage Club held a launch night for the 2024 Harvest Working Day. 

Club Chairman John O’Neill welcomed everyone and explained why the club had chosen Pieta as this year’s charity. Caitriona O’Mahony, Pieta fundraising manager, thanked John and the Club for supporting Pieta before introducing Kate Roberts from the recently set up Dunmanway outreach centre. Kate spoke about the support that Pieta provides in West Cork and stressed the importance of local fundraising to keep the service open.

Dan Buckley of Paudy Buckley Tractors Ltd was Joined by Kevin Kelleher from Valtra at the event. Dan thanked Christy Draper and family for hosting the event and said how happy he was to be working with De Courcey Vintage Club in raising funds for Pieta.

Unfortunately, Kevin Mackey from our second sponsor MP Crowley sent his apologies as he was unable to attend. We look forward to seeing Kevin on 5th August with a range of Mecalac and Kubuta plant equipment on display.
