Around 40 vintage and classic tractors ploughed and cultivated the 30 acres. There was ploughing instruction from county ploughmen for anyone who needed it , some ploughed behind each other while others had their own plots. |

On Saturday evening they also laid on a pasty supper while the entertainment, supplied by Pete was taking place and later on cooked bacon rolls which were in great demand ! During the course of the evening several "regular singers" had a go but the evening produced two new "singers" who gave a rendition of Que Sera Sera ! |
