    If you are attending Tractor World at Malvern this weekend please take time to come over and have a chat with us. Sometimes we do get a little busy so please be patient, but it’s always good to put a face to a name.
    I’m hoping that we are in the same place as last year but information has been a little sparse, and I am hoping to be there from 10am on Friday. It depends on how cold I get as to how long I stop for on the Friday; if I get too cold I’m going to head for home for a warm up!
    See you there!

    You aren’t going to believe this, but I haven’t bought the pork pie. It looks like you’ll have to buy an All Day Breakfast in the Stockman’s Grill. I’m sure that Steve will oblige, Ivan!

    Chris- I thought that it was easy to get out of Wales (just look at the Severn Bridge tolls), but the tricky bit was getting back in. Last time I went over the bridge it cost me £12.80, but I did have a trailer as well as an English registration plate! Put a daffodil in your lapel and you should be OK.

    See you both on Saturday.

    Got there at 9.30 this morning and laid out the stand. It’s better that way because I can get things ready and talk to the stewards about what we want before it gets busy. Still, here’s a quick view of it before everyone turns up.

    By the way- the auction looks to be a good one this year. For catalogues have a look on the H.J.Pugh website.

    Is it muddy around the auction Geoff I’ll bet it is,makes it hard work but walking around but we still do it in pursuit of a bargain.

    If you intend to have a poke about the auction I would wear wellies. It was getting very muddy and it was only half there. In fact I got soaked walking around and had to go to the Stockman’s Grill to test the All Day Breakfast to make sure it is going to be up to the usual standard- it was and it certainly restored my warmth and spirits!
    The BMB is very interesting in that it has the only finger bar mower that I have ever seen on one. It belongs to Robert Biggs.

    And a few more because I didn’t want to exceed the size of the previous posting. My apologies if your particular machine isn’t shown but there were so many people standing around it was impossible to take pictures of some of the exhibits.

    The Lego MF135 was actually full size with a drivable 135 skid unit inside- very clever and they deserve to win something for effort alone.

    The first show of the year is over and seems to have gone in a flash. Thank you to all exhibitors who took the time to bring their machinery over; despite the freezing conditions it has been good to meet up with quite a few new faces.

    Two new club members who signed up at the show are Robin Day from Kent and R.P.Fisher from Staffordshire. Welcome to you both and your memberships are already winging their way down to Charlie via the wonders of the internet.

    Next club event is the AGM next Saturday, and may I remind you if you are planning to come please bring your membership card to show to the people on the door; if you don’t they will charge you to get in but membership entitles you to one free entry per membership card.

    See you there.

    I thought the various machines and tools displayed by VHGMC reflected very well on the Club not only in interest, standard of restoration and original machines but also the range of machinery and information displayed
    You would wonder why Ransomes did not promote and develop the industrial side of the MG tractors seeing those machines displayed, you can only surmise they did not want to upset the established manufacturers who “approved” Ransome implements for use with there tractors no doubt a bigger earner at the time.
