crowds boost ploughing match
Record
crowds flocked to the annual Open Ploughing Match.
The
spectacle of huge machinery combined with sights of
yesteryear and a liberal dose of sunshine turned this
traditionally relaxed event into a highlight, as more
than 1,000 queued to get into the site at Leckhampstead.
They
were able to see demonstrations of horse and plough
workmanship, steam powered ploughing, ploughing by
vintage tractors, and by the huge machinery of today.
Competitors
came from all over the south of England to
take part, however amidst stiff competition it was
local competitors who took the overall spoils.
David
Jannaway, from Welford Farms took the BS Povey Cup
for the overall champion, having come first in class
7 for reversible ploughs and also having won best ploughing
with a Kverneland plough. This is the second time he
has won the overall title.
Meanwhile,
while the PJS Cup for the champion vintage ploughman
went to Roy Breakspeare from Wantage, making light
of the particularly sticky conditions which greeted
the vintage ploughmen on their half of the site.
Local
success also came with John Hiscock, from Leckhampstead,
who won class six for reversible ploughs (Newbury & District
Agricultural Society Rules).
Ploughing
match organiser, Steve Ormrod, said: “We were
very very pleased with the event and delighted that
so many people turned up - both competitors and
individuals. There was a lovely atmosphere and we had
positive and constructive comments from everybody,
so we're sure we can use those to build on our success
next year”.
The
Ploughing Match was hosted jointly by Peter and Diana
Amesbury, and Richard Griffith-Jones, the current president
of the Society.
