Vintage Horticultural and Garden Machinery Club

My copy arrived on Friday. A very interesting read. Well done Alan.

Joe,
Please ring me. I may be able to help you.

Robert and I went back this morning to finish clearing up. We put the last bits in our store shed and locked the door and put the squirrel blocking board in place. The little B****** had

Anybody coming to Weeley this coming weekend be warned. There are major road works
on the A12 north of Colchester. This will slow your journey by quite a bit.
Highways are digging up the whole road and rebuilding from the subsoil upwards
Lots of speed restrictions and sallow moving traffic. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

It seems that I made a mistake and spelt Weeley wrong way. Sorry, even the best of us
can make mistakes.
Last Monday Robert went over to Weeley and topped the working field. Many thanks Robert.
He reported that the field is in good shape and he recons that I will plough well.

Got mine this morning. About to settle down for my lunch and have a read.

Look forward to meeting you there.

My copy arrived this morning. As always a good read. Many thanks Alan.

Yes Andy its on the second weekend in September.. 9th and 10th.
Look forward to seeing you there.
Dave.

Got mine on Thursday. Thanks Alan another good read.

Well done Alan, a very good read. Printers and postman Pat must have
got it together.
Happy Christmas to all.
Dave.

Got my copy Saturday. Interesting read.

Thanks Charlie. A full report of the weekend is being typed at the moment ready for the Cultivator. Many thanks to all who attended and helped
See you all next year.

Despite the tragic loss of our Queen it has been decided that the working weekend is to go
ahead. The Queen was a great lover of country life and we are sure that she would want us
to carry on with our event.
See you all at Weeley.

In the Cultivator it does say club members only.

Well done Alan, Just had a good read. Glad to see Val out and about on her Teslar?
Un fortunately I have had to resort to driving a scooter as well, very useful machines
for getting around on.
I will try to get the Weeley report out to you ASAP after Weeley so with a bit of luck
it will appear in the October issue.

I believe that Garrets of Dartford were Ransomes dealers. They made a lot
of inter row cultivators to fit on Ransomes crawlers. Taken over by
The Doe co a few years ago.
