pmackellow 2,728 #14 Posted February 1, 2014 Just to give you flavour of the sort of exhibits we have had at Ardingly in the past, here's some photos of last years vintage vehicle show... This was the Vintage Vehicle Show, we are now supporting the Smallholders Show which is a smaller event but no less friendly and we hope to get a good collection of exhibits and friends old and new together this year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

steve d 43 #16 Posted February 1, 2014 For those who d ont know last year was mine , paul and mr showman s last year of organising at the vintage show and wow what a superb range of machinery came from all over the country and im sure we can find many more pics to show you all .But this year as you have all guessed we have been asked to put on a display at the smallholders the week before the vintage show. After being invited by them last year.So if you can support it would be superb as many hours work goes on behind the scenes and both paul and myself spend most evenings on the phone about such events.So if you haven't got an entry form yet or want to know more give us a shout.
