Ploughing Match on TV
Our most recent match at the Barrington Estate is now featured on terrestial TV. The programme is called Junk and Disorderly , hosted by Henry Cole and assisted by Sam Lovegrove who buy and old tractor and various other old memorabilia and try and sell it at the Match. If you have missed it then it can still be found on ITV Hub (catch-up service) first broadcast on ITV4 it is the 4th Episode.
Also featured on the programme is our very own John Eddolls from Grafton with some of his Longhorns, dog and geese. John has previously been a Chairman of the society and first ploughed at the Match in 1953.

Rubbish
As our security left on Sunday he commented on how there was almost no litter across the site, whereas most of the events that he attends are strewn with rubbish everywhere. So thank you one and all. That is country people for you.

Its getting close
So members of the Committe have had a soggy morning starting to get everything laid out. The marquee and parking is on a grass field , there is a rather long drive in across fields to get to the site but it is worth it. And there are 10 entries for the horse ploughing competitions so that will be well worth visiting, also the hedgelaying is on site just a 15 minute walk from the marquee to get to it. So lots to look forward too and hopefully some more rain to come during the week but not on the Friday or Saturday.
