[QUOTE="Ley253, post: 4938700, member: 4681"] The Sop, would do quite nicely without vintage, how it did years ago, and could do again, its income would shrink, but so would its liabilities. Your constant refrain about money, is the same as the one I have mentioned before, there were some quite pointed posts on this forum from competitors complaining that their entry fees were being used to provide prize money for other classes. This inequality is endemic,its one of the reasons prize money was withdrawn from the national. It removed one area of disagreement. No matter who runs a ploughing match, or any event featuring different classes of competition, some classes will be better supported than others, and if standard prize money is to be offered, it will either has to be so low as to be pointless, or financed in part by the better supported classes. There is a way around this though. Find local firms to sponsor each class, and provide the prizes, for example you could have, the snap on tool high cut class, with tools of declining value as prizes, or perhaps ,the classic tractor vintage mounted class, with a years subscription, a coat and hat, and a cap, for prizes.
