Ah Ha you might be saying, at long last he updates the Blog. Sorry folks, its been a difficult few days, and this last weekend we were at the Newark Showground for the 8th Tractor and Vintage Show. I will come back to that later.
However, the North Worcestershire Vintage Tractor and Engine Club, to which I am Chairman held a bonfire party at Haydon Way Farm, Spernal Ash on Saturday 6th November.
This farm is home to Maurice and Janet Allely of Allelys Heavy Haulage fame. The old red top club stand was being decorated in readiness for the pig roast. Young Matt Bisp cleaning the table tops of dust and bird droppings. The barn was cleared of the combine and other harvesting tackle in order to make room.

I suppose we had 50 to 60 friends attend the bonfire and some of us stopped over for the night in order that we may consume some booze! The steam boys from Astwood Bank were invited down and here is a selection of photos of them on the way, negotiating the Slough with the A435!
