Bidford on Avon Vintage Gathering. (15th and 16th May 2010)
Held at a new site this year, the Bidford on Avon Vintage Gathering was located next to the scenic River Avon and is organised by Mark Smith of Bidford on Avon. The tractor section, although small displayed tractors from various makes including Massey Ferguson, Ford and Fordson, Leyland and Allis Chalmers. The tractors on show also varied in size, from my wheelhorse hortricultural tractor to the very big Ford FW30. One aspect 
i very much like about these smaller shows, is the way everyone is made so welcome and everything is so laid back. The festivities started on the saturday morning and again on sunday with a programme of arena events running throughout both days. Arena Events included a parade of Vintage Tractors, a parade of Vintage Commercials and cars, and a kite flying demonstration. This is a show well worth visiting, so keep an eye out (not literally) for the date of next years Bidford on Avon Vintage Gathering.

Tractor World 2010
The year of the clubs resulted in some fantastic club displays at Tractor World, held at the Three Counties Showground, Malvern on 6th and 7th March 2010. Ferguson Heritage, Ford and Fordson Association and the Nuffield and Leyland tractor club all put on impressive displays. As a member of the North Worcestershire Vintage Tractor and Engine Club, I was delighted to see the North Worcestershire club stand win 1st prize. So much effort had been made by Pauline Snape and her team to produce the 1940’s harvest themed stand, which included 2 Fordson standard N’s.
A good selection of tractors was to be seen, including rarer tractors from manufacturers such as Austin and Huber. It was brilliant to see so many tractors from many periods, tractors from the pre 1920’s, vintage tractors from 50’s and 60’s through to a selection of classic tractors. Classic tractors such as tractors from the Ford TW series are growing in popularity, because these tractors are the ones the younger generation of tractor enthusiasts have grown up with, and remember seeing hard at work in the field. The TW series tractors are becoming regular visitors at shows like Tractor World, alongside the classic Ford series.
An immaculate collection of Roadless tractors were on display, courtesy of Mr. G. Yarwood, this magnificient collection of tractors is always popular and it is often hard to photograph the whole collection together.
The Ferguson rebuild challenge was as popular as ever, various teams competed against one another to rebuild the Ferguson tractor in the quickest time.
I am already looking forward to next years show, Tractor World is a show that has so much on offer. Tractor World is a show I would definitely recommend visiting.
