Dungannon Truck Run – Sunday – 1st April 2012

Gates open at 9.30am

Truck Run Rolls at 1.30pm

Everyone Welcome!

Location: Dungannon Mart (Granville) BT70 1NJ

Dungannon Truck Run is now in its seven year. When we first started back in 2005 at the then Glenngennon Hotel, now Donnelly’s car sales, we could never have imagined how successful the event would become. Since moving the event to Dungannon Farmers Mart in 2007 Dungannon Truck Run has established itself as Irelands favourite trucking festival. The event attracts Lories and trucks from all over Ireland and the UK with more families and spectators joining in the fun and festivities year on year.

Last year we introduced an annual awards ceremony which saw an array of trophies and cups been presented to drivers and their trucks for the title of “Best Dressed Truck”, “Queen if the Road” See below for full list. Over the past seven years Dungannon Truck Run has raised thousands of pounds for our children’s charity Sporting Hearts www.sportinghearts.org and we would like to take this opportunity to thank all the drivers and truck companies who help make this wonderful truck event possible.

Dungannon set for truck run

It’s that again, time to get those trucks washed and polished up for the popular “Dungannon Truck Run”, now in it’s seventh year and fast becoming one of Ireland’s top truck ‘n’ events.

With over 200 trucks in attendance at last year’s show it’s hoped to see even more this year, regardless of make, model or age. There’s sure to be a category to suit everyone with over 20 presentations to be made at this year’s show from “top bullnose to “best graphics” to “best fleet”, “top fundraiser” to “Queen of the road” and many more. Presentations will take place on the return of the trucks to Granvile.

This is an ideal chance to meet old friends or maybe even meet some new ones. A great opportunity to view some fantastic trucks. There shall be plenty of opportunities to see the convoy on-route, with the trucks passing through Coalisland, Stewartstown, Cookstown, Donaghmore, Castlecaulfield and Dungannon before they return to Granville.

Dungannon Truck Convoy 2007

Projects >

Armed with a box of disposable cameras and a battered old banjo he bought in a second hand music shop in London Cormac Heron from Maghera set off in early October 2006 for Belgrade as a “goodwill” ambassador for Sporting Hearts.

Cormac’s weekend brief was to bring a group of 50 children from the Roma Children’s Centre in Belgrade to one of the cities many children’s theatres, followed by a trip to the zoo and then finally a well earned happy meal in McDonalds.

Dungannon Truck Convoy

Perhaps the most important feature of Cormac’s brief was the insistence that he entertains and enthrals the children. This he did with the greatest of ease with some illusions and his singing and banjo playing as he walked the children through the centre of the Serbian capital.

Cormac presented each child with a disposable camera so they could record their own personal photo diary of the day’s events. You can see a selection of their Photographs in our photo gallery.

Following to the success of his weekend with the Roma children in Belgrade Cormac has volunteered to take more kids to the theatre in April next year. If you wish to help him raise the funds for this trip all you have to do is click justgiving and make a donation to Sporting Hearts.

Resnik Refugee Camp

Sporting Heart has an ongoing project at the Resnik refugee camp on the outskirts of Belgrade. For the past two years we have been organising outings for the children who live there. Our second annual weekend of events was held on Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th October 2005 and was hailed a huge success by both children and organisers a like. On Saturday we travelled to the Puzic children’s theatre in the centre of Belgrade to see a production of The Four Piglets. This was followed by a very boisterous kids meal in McDonalds. Following this the children walked to Knez Mihajlova (Main pedestrian area) where they took part in an afternoon of action and awareness highlighting the plight of refugees and IDPs living in Serbia and Montenegro. This day of awareness was organised by Group 484 who also coordinated and provided volunteers for our events. Sunday saw us journey once again by bus to the centre of Belgrade to visit Belgrade Zoo. Each child was given a disposable camera to record his or her unique photo diary of the day’s events. (click on gallery to view photos) By popular demand we made a very hungry B-line for McDonalds before journeying back home to the Resnik refugee camp.

Children’s Play Area

When Big hearted lorry driver Kieren Conroy and his girlfriend Joanne Campbell, from Ballygawley and Omagh respectively, volunteered to travel to the Resnik refugee camp to help with this years weekend of events they had no idea that they would be so moved by the plight of the children that they would make a pledge to build safe a play area within the Resnik camp. Kieren and Joanne raised over £700 pounds for the trip and this has now been set-aside for the building of a play area in April 2006.

Spring Sports Camp

The Sporting Hearts spring sports camp will be held in April 2006 at Lake Palic . It will bring together teenagers form thirteen to nineteen years of age from refugee camps and collective centres throughout Serbia and Montenegro for a weekend of football, basketball, cycling, martial arts and an experimental introduction to Gaelic football, a first for the Balkans, coached by Sporting Hearts committee member Thomas Colton who has seven years coaching experience as a Tyrone county GPO. Thomas hopes to nurture a team of young player which, if we secure funding, he will bring to Ireland, in the not too distant future, for a series of games and coaching master classes.

Photographic Exhibition

As a result of the high standard and interesting content of the photographs taken by the children on our outings, using only basic single use cameras, we are happy to announce that a selection of these photographs will be exhibited in a fourth coming international exhibition. Watch this space for venues and dates.

Roma Project

On a recent trip to Serbia two of our volunteers visited the Roma encampment of Staro Sajmiste on the outskirts of New Belgrade. They both thought it a matter of urgency that we look into how best to channel our resources in a way that would best serve the interests of the Roma children. I am glad to say that we are now establishing links with the Roma community in Serbia with the view of hosting an annual event, similar to our Resnik event.
