Ardingly Smallholders Show

[pmackellow 2,738]

A great weekend at the 2016 Ardingly Smallholders Show, 40 exhibits of all shape and size in the Horticultural display including Six International Cub Cadets and Cadets (Mr Showmans and our 100s, our 76, 81 and 128 and Phil Murrells 55) and some other nice machines as well including Kev Castle and Phil Murrells British Anzani display.

 

There was also a line up of stationary engines, tractors, cars and commercials.

 

Here's some photos...

 Good photo's Paul.

 I like the three wheeler truck in the fourth photo.

Another nice set of photo's Paul. The cub 81 looks a lot tidier than when I last saw it.

More photos...

 

I love that Transit pickup, Mr Showman loved the Fordson 7V tipper (the blue one) 

 

The rotavator with all the implements is a 5hp Norlett that we picked up on Saturday evening from just up the road from the showground...

 

Also included are some photos from our Saturday evening BBQ.
