Hey Guys,

I have a few more but there still on my fone!

EDIT: The JCB 1 is the one that used to sit on the roof of The Excavator pub in Buckland Hollow around the corner from the Balls yard!

Good photos joe & good weather too .

Shame it had to been rescheduled as it clashed with other events, so I could not go this year.

Was there any other plant besides J.C. Balls machines, as last year there was a few other bits IIRC, with JCB having a stand.

No there was only really Ballys kit there this year! There was a Caterpillar D2 mixed in with the tractors but nothing else really! It was a T C HArrison stand last year and as theyve now moved to central dealers there wasnt one there as last year the event was organised by T C HARRISON JCB from somercotes!
