!!!  N O T I C E  !!!

 

One ploughman attending the Championships had spare parts and tools stolen from his trailer in the

marshalling yard, making him unable to plough at the event.

 

These are parts which have been collected over the years or handed down from his father, so many 

are irreplaceable.  They were all in a locked ammunition box - box and all was stolen.

 

The ploughman concerned would like these returned - he's not bothered about the box or who took them,

he just wants them back.  So if you have any information, think you may have seen something, or have 

been offered anything for sale, please telephone 01291 690524.  A reward is offered.
