We held a fun-run day on 8th-9th day in June, weather was reasonably kind, a little cool, but who cares when we are having fun.
Both days we had a nice scattering of spectators, who were very interested with the mixture of tractors, small stationary engines, collections of memorabilia, the members willingly displayed. We celebrated on the Saturday evening with a B.B.Q. that all the members that could attend enjoyed.
