nashmach Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 They want the ground ploughed reasonably stright Bill - can't have him there straying into the next competitors plot :D Quote
BC Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 They want the ground ploughed reasonably stright Bill - can't have him there straying into the next competitors plot :D Oh well Colm but I always thought practice makes perfection... I didn't thing Marky had given up on the ploughing lark just yet Quote
nashmach Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 Oh well Colm but I always thought practice makes perfection... I didn't thing Marky had given up on the ploughing lark just yet Quite true Bill - let's see what he does this year :D Maybe Gav can be his coach if he lasts more than 5 minutes :D Unusual time for a ploughing match Adam - have you got many competitors yet Quote
marshman Posted June 19, 2008 Author Posted June 19, 2008 Quite true Bill - let's see what he does this year :D Maybe Gav can be his coach if he lasts more than 5 minutes :D Unusual time for a ploughing match Adam - have you got many competitors yet it is a odd time, but we had to get a ploughing match under our belt, the last 2 were canncel due to weather/landowner changing her mind We still have support. Also we have all the cups ingraved costing about £500 with 2008 on. We have about 19 trade stands at the mo and 55 plough men/women. Not many but not bad i spose for a match that was organised in very short notice :) oh and MARKEY FERGUSON HAS TO COME ;) Quote

marshman Posted June 28, 2008 Author Posted June 28, 2008 well had a brillant weekend, could have done with a shower to dampen the dust, i take it no one came on here. Lots of ploughmen/women but no as many public we had hoped for. Now to start planning for next year : Quote

Any photo's to share with us ??? thanks bc, sorry no pics because i forgot the cammra we could have gone to get it on the friday as we only live about 3miles from the field but we were camping and it would have been a waste just to go and get the camra as we had enough to get ready for saturday Quote
