Benita and I have booked in at Premier Inn as don’t fancy camping this late in the year.

One thing I don’t have is a bird cage tool to flare cable ends prior to soldering. See Venhill website for details of how to make cables.

I have made up new cables for a couple of my Monro Tillers, cable and nipples bought online from a motorcycle parts company. Biggest problem is selecting correct size nipples. I will have a look at throttle on Simar 56 to see if I have correct ends. How long does cable need to be?

Remember not all club members use the forum.

Nigel thanks for sharing videos, a good arena and working display. Well done to Steve D for commentary.

I think the wet summer was ideal for slugs as they have eaten half my crop of potatoes. Not sure if leaving blighted spuds in ground is a good idea, I thought best treatment was early removal of foliage to prevent blight getting down to tubers. Do not put blighted material in compost heap.

One of the shows I attend has a horticultural machine ring parade and the commentator gets owners to say a few words.

Steven have a look at DVLA and FBHVC websites for details of forms and other documents you will require. It will depend if you want an age related plate or a Q plate.

Thank you to Chris and everyone else that manned the club marquee. The decision not to send club shop items was based on cost of shipping to and from site and potential profit/loss.

Apparently the wet conditions did provide additional ‘entertainment’ a work colleague saw an artic with loaded low loader pulled in by 2 Scammels, even applying the artics brakes did not stop them.

Lars welcome to the forum, I am sure one of our members will have some information for you.

John, could it be that the cord has been replaced with wire by a previous owner? Have you tried Meetens for a spare?

Jim thanks for update, it seems the show became a victim of its own success. The old beer tent was all part of the attraction and feel of the show. Glad I went as a visitor this year and exhibited some years ago.

Some great literature from the archives. That riding position and those handlebars look a lot like the American chopper style motorcycles. Would love to see one in the flesh.

I have not used the electronic modules preferring to use a new coil, points and condenser.
