BC Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 There is to be a Heritage Festival held at the Alford Heritage Centre (Old Aberdeen Northern Mart premises) on Sunday 1st September 2013 and is to include model displays. I'm not too sure at this stage who many people will be displaying but I will be able to find out more when I'm at the Tarland Show on Saturday. Tarland Show has a truck and vintage tractor show and they are trying to expand the model tents with farming displays in addition to their usual, lorry, heavy haulage and crane displays. It is good to see another couple of shows are expanding on the model side in the shire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 It will be Tarland show for me tomorrow Pete then next weekend the Deeside Steam and Vintage Club at Crathes just a few miles up the road. The following weekend it will be down your way to the Means rally which is held opposite the Edzell base and then the following Sunday will be having a look up to Alford. For September I will have Scone Palace near Perth, then Orkney and finally Lanark. After that roll on the ploughing matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 I was in past the museum the other day and was speaking to the chairman Robbie gordon and he said that the entries for the show were good. He is expecting over 40 tractors and 20 stationary engines. In additions there are classes for cars, commercial and military vehicles. motor cycles, cycles, small steam engines and models. Looking at the forecast its going to be a dry day so that is lways a plus point. http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/ab33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 A very successful rejuvenated show and despite being a bit windy at times it remained dry. I failed to win the star prize in the raffle a limited Edition of 500 copies wordwide the 12 inch inch vinyl edition of "Our version of Events" which was presented to the lucky winner by Emeli's parents...Emeli having been raised in Alford. There were a couple of stalls selling Border Fine Arts and although I have said I was not going to collect lorries I just had to buy two and well i may be going back to that area to buy another tractor today...a variant of a fergie I already have. Anyway there was also a class for the best made scraecrow at the show....something unusiual and that bit different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
