An unusual event was held at the Jolly Farmer, Horne, the SVVS's previous winter
indoor venue, which was a "Charity Tractor Run and Family Fun Day",
all in aid of the Brooklands School for children with additional needs. Being in
the countryside, it was very interesting to have a day devoted to the implement
most often seen but not fully noticed, a humble Tractor. These days many
tractors are no longer humble, but are massive machines brimming with
computer wizardry and satellite navigation! Some of the larger more
complex tractors cost in excess of £250,000 !! Fortunately not all local
farmers can afford tractors of this type so bought along their more normal
every-day machines. Before the show started all tractors went on a parade
through the local lanes for quite a long drive to be seen by local neighbours.
It was quite a sight. Some tractors on show were quite historical, and some with
signs that they are in everyday use. As we are a Vintage Vehicle Society we do
have members who own and exhibit vintage tractors and we also have members who
have modern tractors and use them for farming. Even mud on some! Other than at agricultural/county
shows where only brand new machinery is seen, it is not often that such a wide
range of tractors both old and new can be seen assembled at one place. Well done
!
