I have heard that the East Midlands working event planned for 1st and 2nd August has been delayed by 2 weeks as the crops have not yet been harvested.
The event is now expected to take place during the weekend of 15/16th August. Please therefore check before setting out on your journey to the event

Thanks for that John as twice this year I have headed for small events to find them not on.

Which event is this (were ?) so I know when i look in the lists for a show to visit (weather permitting) i dont decide to go to it as i seem to be able to pick them.

Thanks - Dave

Thanks John

I'm always looking for events were I can see some different machinery to get photos of to add to my collection of interesting machine photos. I keep think id go to the excavator one at Beverly then usually read about it after it happened. :doh:

Went to Keeton cement down that way a few years ago, but then missed seeing the dates for the next couple & this years was cancelled IRC. AMOC had some good kit at Ketton, but i'v lost the photos (must be on the old PC that died

)

Bernard Saunders event at Christmas near Mansfield was interesting with the Howard trencher, several Doe's and a Stieger & Ford FW 30 working.

Cheers
Dave

Been once , great event well worth a trip ,guys got two big barns full of old kit and a lot of people bring their own kit as well ,keep meaning to go again but its not advertised ,sort of word of mouth only, so i never get it pencilled in the diary either.
I have a hunch it's kept quiet to get around all the elf and safety malarkey ,their's no entrance charge or signage either, just a meeting of like minded souls -with scrapers !!
