A cold March Sunday and 23 machines and their owners gathered at Isfield Station in East Sussex for the Spring Meet and Greet Many Thanks to those who turned up, here's some photos starting with the traditional group photo...

Plan ?? More like a suicide mission if Pam found out he'd bought another one !!

Nah, once is enough !!

Here's your reminder then.... ITS ISFIELD TOMORROW !!! :D

Nice to see the Meet and Greet format has been hijacked, it must be a good idea !! Would be a good venue though

Ok Chris, thanks for letting me know We are loaded up for tomorrow...

Well done Charlie that was not dear I'll have a look in the literature collection and see what I have for you

Better weather for this sale (still brass monkeys cold though), here's some photos of what was there... The Farmers Boy (I think) made £20, the Ransomes Marquis mowers only made £2-5 each, the WH Commando 7 made a surprising £200 (it was not that great), and the big Hayter mower with a MAG engine and a ride on seat only made £20. My only purchase was this rather useful sack barrow made by Slingsbys for £12. The next Collective sale is on Saturday April 18th

You're very welcome to pop along to Isfield station Charlie, with or without tractor !!

Met up with Mr Showman and his son this evening and went along to a Hot rod and Classic Car meet For the first meet of the year in a dark and cold Friday evening there were some nice machines there...

I think I must have mislaid the AC120 manual I have but it sounds like you are sorted out ok

Blimey Neil you don't look old enough to be a Grandad !!

Just the one mate don't think I got a photo of it, sorry !!

Photos just loaded on here now mate Thanks Chris, I'm not in it for the judging but well chuffed to bag second place, made all those evenings in the shed worthwhile !!

Sundays photos...

Saturdays photos...

A good show to start the rally season, Tractor World at the Three Counties Showground at Malvern had a good line up of tractors and a well supported Horticultural section In the Horticultural pedestrian machine class the Mackellow and Wakefield entries cleared the board with Jimbos ATCO machines coming first and third with our Jobber display in second place I will update with the other class results when I get the information, meanwhile here's some photos from Friday (setup day) including some of the entries in the auction...

Cheers Norm

Here's the display at Tractor World where it was awarded second in class... Cue photo of grinning idiot with rosette...

We are indeed staying at West Leas Farm, going up on the Saturday before Newby Hall and coming back the Saturday after

Welcome, and what a great display !!

I have the base and engine, sadly no compressor unit...

We are there with the jobber display

That's got your name on it then James !!

He says its due to time waster...
