Vintage Horticultural and Garden Machinery Club

Got mine today, very interesting to see the Adam’s Delver.

I thought this Cultivator publication was good, something for everyone

I did however note the Editors request for items for inclusion in the Cultivator from members particularly as we are now to get six issues. So let us all make a contribution however small or obscure because it will give him a good reserve to dip into and also probably make the magazine even better.
It is too cold and wet to get into the shed so we should have the time to do something and as I told the wife the light it not good enough to get a good result with redecorations she proposed.
Mind you, have to be carefull not to lose my chestfull of medals after taking good lady to St Lucia to celebrate a big birthday.Not much to see there on the vintage front except on the Rum Distillary visit they had a original Motorail narrow gauge locomotive standing in the yard which used to haul the sugarcane wagons into the processing plant on the narrow gauge railway on the estate.

Top job Mr Haggle, more articles etc to come for the next issue !!

Got mine yesterday. Great issue, thanks to Mr H and everyone involved. And six times a year now, even better!
Back page full of SIMAR, bound to appeal to a Roatavator, but not so sure about Jr’s ugly mug behind the 56!
So 11,000 SIMARS sold, got me thinking:-
a) There must be loads out there waiting to be discovered, hopefully they can’t all have been melted down.
b) Even if machines are beyond salvation, it must mean there’s a hidden supply of tiller springs, if only we knew where they are! When my small supply is gone, looks like I’ll have to remortgage the house and get some made.
Blow me down, posted this and then looked at Busman’s post re the springs, I’ll be first in the queue!

The figure of 11000 Rototillers is I suspect a worldwide figure as UK production of the 35 and 56 was a long way short.

did you not get the articles and photos for the stanfield working day on 22nd march? as never got put in
