I'm afraid not Murray walking around was not even easy and I never managed to get to the vintage trailing section. A shame that the weather spoiled the Scottish Nationsl match but we have no control over the weather

[Murray]

Very true, i hate the rain while your at a match, yes its a shame that the rain spoiled it, that match i was at a few weekend ago was a topping day, its a pitty though Bill.

[BC]

I could have spent the whole day there had the conditions been good Murray. never mind there is always next year however I have no idea at this point in time where the venue will be.

What the local Press and Journal has to say on the match. Mart you will see young Andrew Mitchell has done well yet again ;)

Thanks for sharing your exellent photographs Bill, considering the weather. Some very commited match ploughmen and spectators alike there, and some tidy and one or two familiar machines out to do battle despite the terrible conditions. Never seen anything like that water logged rig at a match before.

Oh yes the Dexta and MF 35 were sruggling or maybe it was the drivers ???

Oh I heard an Irish or accent or too Colm. You could tell a judge not by their badge but their clipboard in a poly bag ;)

I spoke to one Irish chap with a Dexta who had given up amd was laoding up. He said there were 4 of them over with tractors and plough and there was another Irish chap in the reversibles.

I'm sure he'll be at the Forfar Match Bill but the last time I checked there wasn't a date scheduled for it yet........

[BC]
