BC Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 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 ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 well get loads of pictures please as i wont be home for it. if you go through the cattle if you see any cattle from firhills farms can you get some pictures. 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.

BC Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 Just giving someone else a chance this year then Bill : : : 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 ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
