We've got a late entry on the drill demo field: The MaterMacc from Italy. I imagine dry ground won't surprise them too much...

No Cross Slot this year on the demo plots? Not criticising, just always interesting comparing the vertical disc with the others.

Only a yard high? I can’t see that being testing for a 750. I drilled some game cover into a mix of grass and thistles just over a week ago. Jacob struggled to get the booms high enough to go over the thistles when Rounduping it off, drilled then topped a few days later.

If it is going to be hard and dry, can you give them winter beans to sow this year at 4" deep and only just enough seed for the plots so they haven't got the ballest of full hoppers.

Camping is free...we've even got a shower lined up this year as it's going to be hot. You're welcome to set up on Tuesday night, but may have to go to pub in village (Cricketers) for a bite to eat as Earthworm Arms may not be working by then...

Tickets selling fast now. We are going to charge extra for people turning up on the day without having booked, as it's extra trouble. So if you're planning on coming, buy online now, and you'll get in quicker and cheaper...

You can, but it'll be a fiver or so more and a bit slower getting through registration, what with our mobile printer etc...look forward to seeing you!

I am heading up with my son and daughter. Looking forward to it, and especially want to meet Zoe Harcome, I lost 4 1/2 stones a few years back following her low carb eating advice.
Hopefully con one of them to drive home so I can make the best use of "The Earthworm Arms*!!
