THE Forest Machine Operators Blog’s Christmas fundraiser 2019 raised over €20,000 for charity.
The Blog, which now has over 30,000 members, raised in excess of a whopping €22,600 for its chosen charity, Samaritans.
As usual, a number of fantastic prizes were up for grabs, including all-expenses-paid VIP trip to the Komatsu Forest factory in Sweden, and an all-expenses-paid VIP trip to John Deere’s factory in Finland.
