That’s right alan,but I think the shandy barrow won easily, would do this again any day, it’s shame other shows don’t do this as well.

[steve-d]

Not sure yet alan as not seen in the flesh mate but I will keep you posted.

I think it’s great your going to restore the Westwood because they are underestimated and now no more so good luck with the restos.

hi Charlie and Geoff please don’t feel I was trying to envoke any arguments or being difficult as this was not the case ,I personally do enjoy using all my different machinery whether at home or events as do many others whithin the club and as andy has rightfully said its each to there own ,as you know I have organised a working day as well and we all had great fun,and kevin castle has an area set aside for tractor fest of which at the end of the weekend it is hoped to have the area reseeded using a fiddle again something you don’t see every day of the week ,as you know I have a page on facebook that I have dedicated to the colwood register and would very much like to make the addition to the club page as well ,I know I don’t have records that make things a pain when dating so have to go on engine nos styles and designs etc,but have to say the collection is getting bigger .but going back to the main point whether you go to a show or plough whats the difference,it has taken all of us ages to be recognised fully and not be dumped with tractors or engines ,and one thing I can say is weve finally all done it and feel recognised as our own our magazine grows hopefully the membership grows so the proof is in the pudding .

That’s a very nice addition to the collection Ivan and has it got a different wheel to most of the standard ones?

[steve-d]

Be good to see you there as well Andy and

In original post it should have read j a p display sorry it’s the predicted text

I to have emailed a letter of disapproval, and the. More of us who do it the better as it’s more clout,our hobby is growing at such a rate that it’s over taking the tractors and to thoughs who came to ardingly last year I think my team and I proved it and we put the tractor boys noses out of joint and put them second best for once,not that it’s a competition. The cultivator is now our only magazine dedicated to our hobby and let’s see it grow!
Comments made by others about the t and m were also made by me in my email to the ed, ie I’m not interested in ploughing, fed up with reading about fergies and fordsons, for me horticultural means all aspects of our hobby.
So put pen to paper or finger to keyboard and voice your disapproval after all what do we have to do we are a proud and dedicated group and club and for to long we have been pushed to the side line.
I hope you all don’t disapprove of my views but that’s me I’m afraid being nice doesn’t always get you anywhere and having seen peter love at shows like ardingly he will be taking pictures of tractors and as soon as horticultural machines appear no matter how rare he disappears so that shows how interested he is!

To be fair to you Paul this four seasons is virtually identical to my loyd only difference is the clutch, now this raises a question?
We’re they the same firm and or did one or the other eventually merge?
I will post some pics of mine.

[steve-d]

A great day and very well supported. Great to see faces old and new.
