I'm glad you enjoyed the show Mike and I must admit I have spoken to a lot of folk about the show over the past two weeks and they all thought your display was stunning 8)

Just wondering if you have been able to get hold of a slater yet to fix the hole in the roof following the gales a few weeks ago :-\ :-\

I attach some of the photos I took on the day.

Hi there, Just waiting for the government grant to come through before we get a slater in !!.  :-\ :-\

There was alot of great stands & displays, Andy and Brain both had fantastic displays of what they can build .

Busy trying  to build a Claas Jaguar 75 trailed forager harvester to chop the silage  at (MossBank Farm)Hope to have it finished before long .

Just wondering if anybody can help me with a bit of advice on what the right measurements on the stickers should be and what should be on them.

Thanks Joe and Brian. I had forgotten the video man who does the local rallies etc was there for most of the day so you never know we may be able to get some still shots from him or even a DVD with footage from the show ;) ;)
