I think to the purist the first word in the club name Vintage is all important. A great ideal but and club needs new members all the time.
I would hope that I can compete fully with my very vintage plough. to acquire a ” correct” age tractor is far from easy.

Sorry for the spelling Vintage or Classic

Trying to think of the right reason to get my pass signed!!!! Hopefully will be there.

Thanks for all the responses. Yes it would appear the Lincs way is good. As some of you will know I plough with a MG40 which puts me outside the rules by 1year but it belongs to much earlier family, onlookers love to see it and believe it to be much older, maybe a reflection of me! Anyway let’s plough on.

OK I take note of that, but I think my comments apply to them equally or more so. Next move I suppose is to talk to them. As you will have guessed I am a ploughman. At matches the stewards always say that the ploughing is under horticulture rules, so who?? Just airing my thoughts.

I believe that the date needs to be looked at. Just to put a set date not to take into account that time never stops is restricting and self defeating. A club that is set in its ways by the senior members with their own favorites does not encourage new blood and enthusiasm for the kit they remember from their own history. Our classics are youngsters vintage and “old”. They need to come in with their kit. I have no beef with the club or commities but we need look forward to new younger participants.

Are you thinking of going? Good to hear of a match in the south west not the other end of country.

Hi Nigel
Not seen many are there many around? I thought one might make a useful ploughing tractor. A little 4×4 instead of my crawler.
