Salopian match on the 22nd March also cancelled
Don't want to put anyone at risk for a days ploughing.
Not a decision we took easily but after the gov announcement tonight it was a no brainer.

I am told there is going to be a virtual ploughing match later in the year. I'll add more details as I know them.

Sorry! It must be because I edit Direct Driller magazine, "ploughing" seems to auto-correct (could also be the american keyboard I got stuck with as well).

While nothing can replace a real ploughing match there will be a virtual ploughing match that has almost been built that will host a match on the 26 September 2020 .
Classes will be like any other match , competitors will be asked to send in a set of photos ( with set parameters) and video if possible ,every class and competitor can be seen
by the visitors and the classes will be judged ( and some modest prizes hopefully to boot ) .Entry will be £10 to each entry with all of that money going straight to the air ambulance in the respective area from where the entrant comes from . The match will have trade stands and be made to feel as much as a show, as virtual allows . The hope is that it can be an event anyone anywhere can take part in , and competitors can complete their ploughing ahead of the match if that works better with work on the farm .At the end of the day hopefully it will prove a bit of fun and raise some money for the air ambulances. A full announcement will be coming soon .

Cheriton Fitzpaine and District Ploughing Match. 20th September. Always the third Sunday in September (we could move it to the 19th if it suited more people)
Its our 75th year so would like to try for it to go ahead.
With all necessary precautions in place, would there be a demand?

I suspect you'll be inundated as so few matches about.
Two interested in the World style class here.

The Cheriton Fitzpaine ploughing match is on this year, 20th September. The Witheridge match has moved to the 19th so make a weekend of it and have a double header of ploughing! I will post a schedule soon. It's our 75th year so would be great to see lots of ploughs.
