[QUOTE="Kenham, post: 4940766, member: 33246"] Pass. I really don't need any society , club etc. to enjoy my trailer ploughing but it would be nice to have a society club etc to call upon when info needed and such like. I am 61 and have been comp. ploughing for more years than I care to remember, when we started there was no vintage or classic or trailed plough classes , we just entered a ploughing match and upset our neighbours because we did not know what we were doing. I reached a reasonable level of competency a few years ago and was winning a fair amount of matches I entered but then other things took over in life like arthritis and 5 am starts to go to a ploughing match seem like hard work. I personally think a club or society to cater for everyone with a good newsletter / forum would be to the advantage of most ploughmen /women. Not everyone who ploughs wants to be supreme champion and travel hundreds of miles every week to win everything, I don't know the percentage of the very very good ploughmen as to the general ploughmen who just go out for a good days ploughing but I know who the greater number would be .
