Mini tractor pulling drawing good crowds with the usual mishaps, mayhems and blowups. It took steam to show the way with Our Nipper making it look so easy.

No pictures as numpty forgot his camera, but I'm sure someone can oblige.

Charlie.

The show is well worth a visit and good value at just a fiver to get in

Goold family S6 - which waggon is this ??

Sentinel wagon no.9032 of 1934
Great rally as normal and really good selection of engines with most them roading to the event. Robey did well on the tractor pulling sledge although they were a lot braver than I am!
Didn't recognize the Marshall TE anyone know any info or history about?
Will post some pics here and vids on youtube when I get the time.

Charlie must of had too much in the beer tent and counted 6 wheels on the Sentinel.Take more water with it Charlie next time.

Oops! S4, sorry. Get confused in old age.

What a rally, brill as normal. We got home ok with the tractors, they were a good as gold all weekend. This weekend was my ploughs first ever outing, looked great and worked a treat. Was very heavy on the back of Freda and made her work hard which prob did her some good. Very tiered now and a little sun burnt but happy. Struggling to write so I am going to bed.

Good pictures, Jim. The Marshall is 86265, and I think owned by Ron Bond..... May have come from the Gordon Glover collection. SDSPS will be able to enlighten us. Was at Dorset a few years back I seem to recall.

Nice to see turbos fowler in steam.
