ANGUS AGRICULTURAL SHOW AT BRECHIN inc VINTAGE TRACTORS & TRUCK SHOW - 13/06/09

[BC]

This Saturday sees the Angus Agricultural show at Brechin which hosts a Vintage tractor display and a mini Truck show ( mainly motor lorries ) . I plan to go to return a shield I won last year but will not be exhibiting this time to give me more time to look and speak to people. May grab a few photos at the same time  ;)

I will try Peter. Having the tractor with me last year I had no time to see the livestock. Only managed the vintage section, the trade stalls and the truck show. I plan to be down early as I have a shield I won to return so I'll have a wander in the livestock section and see what i can get for you.

Well yes Mike...no not really I'm just laying off pulling at the trailer out of the back garden and roping on etc to ensure I don't aggrevate my back in any way now that it has improved significantly. I'm kind of  having a 1/2 year out of displaying  and only attending shows at present. Hopefully I'll exhibit at some of the August and September ones so watch the Events and Shows Board ;)

Thanks Peter I will have a look out and ask about if i see any of his cattle. What breed is he likely to showing ???

I would image the two Alan Smith's will be there and given tey are from Arbroath I assume they will know him.

[pistol pete]

it will be charoles mate. ye they sure do Alan senior used to work with the farm we lifted tatties with and since he has gone contracting he cuts our grass and we hire dung spreaders from him and if nobody is there he does it for us.
