The club was set up for people with an interest
in vintage agricultural machinery, whether
it is tractors, stationary engines or
implements.
It
was formed in October 1976 when a group of like minded friends placed an advert in the
local paper inviting anybody interested along to a meeting.
Following that meeting a committee was formed and the club was born. The club meets once a month at Dumfries Rugby Club.
See
the pane to
the right or our Club Diary for
dates and times.
New members are always welcome but you don't have to be a
member if you would like to attend a meeting which is of interest to you. We
hold an
annual Rally and Working Day where enthusiasts from far and near can
display their items of interest and hard work.
The club produces a bi-annual newsletter which is
free to all members and includes articles, reviews and information written by
club members.
The
club also holds a library of literature, videos and DVD's which club members are
welcome to hire.
Membership runs from November to November. If you
wish to join simply print off an
Application
Form and post it to us.
The club has close ties with many
similar organisations. Our vice chairman, Billy Gordon, is a World Ploughing
Association Board Member and founder member Robert
Copland is a director of the
European Ploughing Association.
