Andy, if you have renewed online you should have gone through a screen requiring you to agree to terms and conditions so no need for paper form.

I can confirm the December issue of The Cultivator has arrived. The first batch of online renewals came in yesterday and new membership cards have been posted to those that have renewed.

[charlie]

Keep us posted on progress.

Fairly sure it is a Mountfield M1, the same questions was asked back in 2009 on the clubs old website, see link

Welcome to the club, I have just posted your new member pack, hopefully it will arrive before Christmas.
Easy part to identify is the engine which is a Briggs and Stratton, so spares should not be a problem. Will have to have a think about make of rotavator, possibly Mountfield, going to have a look through galleries page of this website for ideas.

I have just had confirmation from printers magazines will be posted today, so should arrive before Christmas.

Whilst at MERL yesterday I copied the sales leaflet they have for the Commando Hoe. The one on leaflet is slightly different to the example I have. Leaflet is dated 1949 so the machine I have may be a later version.

My collection of Meccano is safely stored in the loft for a rainy day, the idea of a Meccano Trusty has crossed my mind. Many years ago Alex and me attended the Old Lawn Mower Club agm, I took the necessary parts to build a lawn mower model that had appeared in the Meccano magazne, must see if I can find the instructions again.

It does look as if a few non Meccano parts have been used but as you say brilliant. The rest of the video can be a distraction.

I have found a sales leaflet for the Progress tractor in my collection. It describes clutch as 3 plate dry type with lock off lever.

An events calendar is on the list of things to do, we are currently reviewing website layout, content etc.

[charlie]

Well worth sending this to editor of The Cultivator so all club members see it.

Drive belt for cutter bar is an A.42

[charlie]

Please send all event dates to the editor, details on page 2 of The Cultivator.
It helps to include any special feature of event and also a post code if known and who to contact for entries. Date and name of event is not much use on their own.
Only include events with a horticultural content, thank you.

[charlie]

That was a good few years ago now.
