Valley Axe Man Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Good to see you Mike, aye I was made up with the bargain bit of drawbar I'd just collected 👍 has to be said that Howard spreader in your last few photos was as clean as owt. She still had the orange paint in the barrel, must have had an easy life with a sympathetic owner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson Agri Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Was a good weekend nice to catch up with so many. Here was my fergie on the Ferguson club stand. Generated a lot of interest and at one point during Saturday lunch you couldn't see the tractor as a mob of people around it! Little disappointed at how thin on the ground tractor numbers were at the show, albeit the weather might have played a part just felt like a lot more trade stands selling tat this year 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack390 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) I can see how it gained its attention, fascinating little machine. I would assume it’s restored? Edited March 15, 2023 by Jack390 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the traders were usual but yet there seem to be an abundance of new faces selling more Sunday market type goods than the normal requisites that you usually found back in the day at Malvern. Yes I can see the stalls bring extra funding towards costs but it won't be much of a show without the exhibits..... And going back to the marquee it seemed alot smaller than the last time we were there when we were chatting to you in the carpark which I think would have been last show before the covid job took hold. Have to be Hope Mark gets a bit of feed back and then him and Kelsey can try and aim to what Malvern used to be 👍 . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a lot of traders that would have been advertiser's in the Kelsey magazines I noticed. Nothing relevant just another space taker, I suppose they get more money from them than a tractor. The marquee j was told cost £40k for the weekend from one of the helpers when I parked up as I made a joke sayings it's blown away. Lot of money for that. Be nice to see it like it used to be with some interesting tractors. But I think it's a decline in general Newark the last 2 years has been the same and even Shepton in all honesty has seen a slight decline.
