PDH Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 I seee Mike Thorne is having another Open Day this year. Details are Saturday 5th July 2008 Coldridge Collection Open Day, Coldridge, North Devon from - 1100hrs onwards On the day it is hoped that the Massey Ferguson "Nipper" will be fired up by the Banner Lane specialist engineers. This tractor was a one-off high powered "dragster" and it should be entertaining to see it in action. A charge of £3 per person will be made and all proceeds will go to the North Devon Hospice. If the weathers as good this year as it was for the 2007 Open Day it will be great day out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDH Posted June 4, 2008 Author Share Posted June 4, 2008 I'll probably go but like Tris it will be last minute decision. Also weather dependant. Photos shouldn't be a problem, not sure about video! Photos of last years event are on here somewhere, won't be an awful lot different this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 May be an idea to put the camera bag on a bungee cord as well, those of us who went to London in January know what you're like for leaving it places when you get excited :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powerrabbit Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Funny is'nt it! I am only 21 miles from Mike and have to read it in the CT mag for the date. Anyway, good day last year and I will be going. Wonder if any of the stalls will have any of the MF anniversary stuff? Would be a good oportunity for any of you chaps with Fergy related stuff to sell, models etc, to give Mike a ring and book a stall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 :D - that was our secret Winterbottom.,,, I'm hoping JDC, Graham and Bill will come down for this one - Awww go on lads... you know it makes sense I would like to come down Marky given the number of FTF members going along but its just too far for the one day and far too expensive given the cost of fuel thesedays. Maybe another year when I could organise a holiday around it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
