Just wondering what engines are expected and if Max Cowap will be there with his Burrell engine Big Jack?

Little Leigh/Mike Priestners Ploughing Do?
 
Hi All, Self and James planning to attend Little Leigh do later on on Saturday when James finishes work, Looking forward to seeing folk again, we wont have the engine this time out as we are removing wheels prior to fitting rubber tyres.

Now another question and I cant get any info anywhere but is Mike Priestner having his usual ploughing party at his farm in Dunham at all? Does any body know anything as it is usually around the last weekend of September when it happens?

Yours in anticipation,thumbsup:D

Mark.

Thanks again,
Mark.

Is there a Plan? eg: Times when engines will be showing up, time when Happpy Couple are likely to arrive etc. We usually arrive too early, but the early bird usually catches the best worms.

What has your prostate got to do with it? - On the other hand not sure I want to know!

You,ll all be a stones throw from Boesings silly quiz then.

Just to confirm, is the wedding taking place at the church opposite the Appleton Thorn Pub? also, will there be any engines outside the church? and finally is there a lowloader park or is a case of finding somewhere on the day?. Will be attending the wedding by the way, hope for a couple of good British Hymms.

Bryn,

I understand that there will be much engine involvement, quite exactly the details I am unsure of, except to say that my ex Bridson trailer is being used for human transport.

I too have the same problem in finding the church, I guess there won't be a lot of choice in terms of churches in Appleton Thorn

A e-mail to Clive got me an e-mail from the organiser with the location of the low loader park.
