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.
