[edit] History
(Can you add a bit about of the history of this event ?)
[edit] 2009
The show was held on January 31st and 1st of February. The Tractors were displayed in 3 "Halls" The main one being show above with trade stands round the perimeter.
- Main Hall
The hall was rather dark and the tractor parked too close for the visitors to examine and photograph them really. The hall was also un heated unlike other indoor shows !! off the hall was a tent with some trade stands but it looked rather empty ? (perhaps more of the stand should have been in there and heat it !! leaving more space for the tractor displays.
- International and Garden Machinery Shed.
This was a far better location with plenty of light and space for the tractors and space to view. Some interesting tractors as well. A small display of Horticultural tractors was also present, and a small collection of Stationary engines.
- Ferguson Club and Ford shed
This was also a light area with plenty of space to view the displayed tractors to there best. Walking in the doorway a magnificent Fowler VFA was on display.
