Dumfries and Galloway Vintage Machinery
Club
The club was set up for people with
an interest in vintage agricultural machinery, whether
it
is tractors, stationary engines or implements.
It was formed in October 1976 when a
group of like minded friends placed an advert in the local paper inviting
anybody
interested along to a meeting.
Following that meeting a committee was formed and
the club was born. The club meets once a month at Dumfries Rugby Club. See the pane to the right or our
Club Diary
for
dates and times.
New
members are always welcome but you don't have to be a member if you would like
to attend a meeting which is of interest to you. We hold an annual
Rally and Working Day where enthusiasts from
far and near can display their
items of interest and hard work.
The club produces a bi-annual
newsletter which is free to all members and includes articles, reviews and
information written by club members.
The club also holds a library of
literature, videos and DVD's which club members are welcome to hire.
Membership runs from November to
November.
The club has close ties with many
similar organisations. Billy Gordon, is a World Ploughing
Association Board Member and founder member Robert
Copland
is a director of the European Ploughing Association.
