The Vintage and Classic Working Day: A special day for a worthy cause
An event is set to be held on July 5, in memory of Damian Begley. The Begley family are proud to fulfil his wish by organising a Vintage and Classic Working Day to raise funds for the local services that compassionately helped him during his illness.
The Vintage and Classic Working Day is being held on the Barnasone Farm to celebrate the late Damian Begley, bringing together vintage machinery enthusiasts and the wider community for a day full of vintage action, family fun and community support.
Damian was well known for his warm personality, his willingness to help others and his love of restoring and operating vintage tractors and machinery. During his illness, Damian expressed his wish to organise a working day that would raise money for the services that supported him throughout his illness.
Damian’s family commented, “Damian had a lifelong passion for agriculture, especially vintage and classic machinery.
"Damian expressed one clear wish: to organise a ‘Vintage Machinery Working Day’ to raise money for local services that cared for him so compassionately.”
Although, Damian sadly never had the opportunity to organise the event himself, his family and friends have come together to ensure his vision becomes a reality, where all proceeds raised at the event will be donated to the Termonmaguirc Cancer Patients Fund, Omagh Hospital & Primary Care Complex, Palliative Care Ward and Air Ambulance NI.
The Begley family added, "This event is our way of giving back and helping local groups to continue vital work for families on similar journeys.”
Throughout the day, visitors can enjoy a packed programme full of entertainment and attractions suitable for all ages. The event will feature a model show, various family-oriented attractions, and live performances from a range of local country music artists, ensuring a memorable experience for everyone.
With vintage machinery hard at work, an impressive music line-up, family attractions, food and trade stalls and a strong community spirit at its heart, the Vintage Machinery Working Day promises to be a fitting tribute to Damian Begley and an unforgettable day out in support of a very important and worthy cause.
The Begley family concluded, “We truly hope this event is a meaningful and successful tribute to Damian.
"Your support helps us honour Damian’s memory in a way that reflects the community spirit he loved so deeply.”
