the showman

Here's a little map for you all, hope that helps

Looking forward to see you Tom, have a save journey Thanks Paul, I'll have the kettle on Hope your rear screen isn't coming over from france by lorry, you'll be waiting weeks !

For anyone arriving Friday evening we've arranged a fish and chip van to pop in for a couple of hours, they were very good last year

St Micheals hospice have a silent auction there so bring some cash as there's often a bargain to be had

Looks good Norm, glad to see you painted red 😀😀😀

Had a bit of time on mine today after getting new nuts and bolts yesterday. I've cleaned all the rust off and freed every thing off so its all adjustable and painted it with red primer, here's a coupl of photos

Looking good Norm, hope your not going to drive it in the mud

Most certainly has Norm, just hope it turns up

During the show on Saturday the working area will be open all day for ploughing or whatever you want to do except for arena times and as they have given us our own slot and there will be a few of us i will expect everyone to support it, they may even give us two slots, one in the morning and one afternoon. On Sunday it will be much the same except ploughing will finish at 3' oclock, if you have harrows you can carry on as we need to get the field back to how it was before you lot dug it up. I know we're all going to have a good weekend and i would like to thank you all for your support

You've got little hairy legs Nigel.😎😂😂

Had the final meeting for the show last night and we have 20 exhibits coming, we have an excellent spot next to the arena and the working area is only a short distance away. With a little over a week to go I'm still accepting entrants if you don't wanna miss out, but you better be quick

Its a chicken plucking machine dating from 1933 we think, it's powered by a 1 HP Stuart Turner water cooled engine. The engine turns over and the machine all rotates so hopefully won't take long to fire it up

As you see i had to get back into the dark depths of the caravan as last time I spotted something buried behind all the furniture and I wanted another look. Suitable dressed I ventured in and started pulling out the furniture and stuff and found the machine the only problem was the roof had come down and i had to jack it up to move the said item. Finally I managed to get it out into the daylight so here's some photos

We need photos of the hitch Koen. ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘

Happy birthday Richard, have a nice chilled out day

Absolutely brilliant Norm, quick and easy conversion, not what i was expecting but it looks well good you must be very pleased with it

Good video, bet your glad you filmed it Saturday and not Sunday other wise you would have a lot of umbrellas and people packing up

Looks a good show, steamers always look nice at night

Didn't take any today as my camera isn't an underwater model , at least I took it with me just in case it stopped

Don't forget to bring your coffee, I only drink tea

One good thing about that is I didn't have to make you coffee

Went back this morning and as i got there it started raining, it got worse as the morning went on and I didn't bother unloading the Wheelhorse's. We walked up and had a breakfast roll and tea and by 12.30 everyone was packing up so i came home. Its a great show and well worth a visit but when it's chucking it down it suc's, luckily i managed to get out before it got to muddy.

That looks great Norm, another 2 or 3 and you'll have it right

Your right Norm 1933 I think

That's a nice one Koen, and all ready to go . We could all get together and do Wheelhorse formation ploughing
