Well done to Gareth and Darren, an excellent display. Thank you to all the club members and their families for supporting the horticultural section by entering exhibits. It was also good to meet all the club members visiting the show. Lets hope the show grows in coming years.

benjamin welcome to the forum. It would not hurt to add fuel additive such as Castrol Valvemaster, one of Trusty experts should know for sure. It would also be well worth using something like Ethomix from Frost

Copy is at the printers and should be mailed out sometime mid October.

Kevin, I see. One simple solution would have been to issue those taking part a ‘free’ entry pass, this would mean no turning up on the day, did the organiser consider this?

[charlie]

I will be there Friday pm with my Monro Tillers and club stand. See you Friday.

[charlie]

Kevin, out of interest, what are the new requirements? Reply via e mail or pm if not something for the forum.

That is the brand of fuel I was thinking of. I think the issue with modern 2 stroke oil is the old oils were thicker and the crank seals seem to prefer it.

[charlie]

I think I know the fuel you are talking about. I have various machines both two and four stroke and as a precaution always check float bowl is clean and jets are clear after winter lay up before starting, also check for spark. I then add fresh fuel.

It is thought that some of the ultimate and similar fuels do not contain ethanol.

Trying to date this I contacted the The Royal Smithfield Club. They informed me the show usually started on a Monday, so this would give 1944, 1950 or 1961 as possible years. Show catalogues etc are at MERL so that will be my next place to look.

Looking forward to seeing it, see you at Tractor World Newburty

Sandi, it is an annoying issue with the forum software that causes photos to appear in a different order, so far we have not found a solution to it.

[charlie]

Great photos, looks like I missed another great weekend, looking forward to 2017.

Why do those involved with running the themed section seem to keep it such a big secret, thanks to wingnut we now know what the theme is. How did you find out wingnut? Also if the horticultural section is judged then it should be all of the section not just the themed section, in fact there is an argument to judge both seperatley.I know there were issues at Tractor World one year due to some horticultural machines that were not in the horticultural section but scattered amongst other club stands not getting judged. This was on the advice of the organisers at that show.

[charlie]

Will they get the judging right this year and judge the whole of the horticultural display, the themed section and the main section?
