[QUOTE="Ley253, post: 3710856, member: 4681"] Bob its about time all ploughmen recognised the fact that they are all ploughmen, and the "scruffy classes" should get rid of the log on their shoulder.You complain that your hard done by, but, go back a few years, and there were no vintage classes, we had to beg societies to put one in, and many refused. When the SOP recognised the vintage people, the door opened much further.(I was ploughing vintage trailed back then). The world match profit resulted from every ones efforts. The amount of subscription income may well vary between classes, some being more popular than others.Thats a fact of life, and changes with the interest of competitors. Classes other than world style have their own qualifiers for example, who organises them and finds societies willing to add one to their match? One other thing, why do are the non world style classes popular? Because (1) they are much cheaper (2) competition is not so cut throat,( classic is proof of this, having a large contingent of retired world style ploughmen) and the rules keep a firm grip on development of ploughs. Its one pot, all ploughmen put in the same, or, would you like to see a licence system where every ploughman purchased a licence, the cost of which varied according to the class he ploughed in? On the surface, a feasible idea, but within a few years, everyone would gravitate to the cheapest class, and all the others would die. [/QUOTE]
