Despite the tragic loss of our Queen it has been decided that the working weekend is to go
ahead. The Queen was a great lover of country life and we are sure that she would want us
to carry on with our event.
See you all at Weeley.

Its that time of the year again when we all start thinking about the Weeley working weekend. September 17th and 18th.
I went down to the farm today and had a chat with David and Chris. The field is very hard cos of lack of rain but Chris has offered to put some cultivators over it and loosen it up for us so we may be able to have a ploughing match…[Read more]

Well done Alan, Just had a good read. Glad to see Val out and about on her Teslar?
Un fortunately I have had to resort to driving a scooter as well, very useful machines
for getting around on.
I will try to get the Weeley report out to you ASAP after Weeley so with a bit of luck
it will appear in the October issue.

I believe that Garrets of Dartford were Ransomes dealers. They made a lot
of inter row cultivators to fit on Ransomes crawlers. Taken over by
The Doe co a few years ago.

Picture no 14. Is that your best table cloth? Get it in the washing machine quick before
Mrs R, she who has to be obeyed finds out.
For cleaning carbs etc I use 28 second heating oil and an ultrasonic cleaner.
The job is beginning to look good.

dave replied to the topic P J Bryant greenhouse heaters in the forum General talk and discussion 3 years, 7 months ago

Would it be possible to you to sketch the metal frame with some dimensions for me.
My heater is the smaller of the two shown in your photos but I do not have the
framework to go with it.

dave started the topic P J Bryant greenhouse heaters in the forum General talk and discussion 3 years, 7 months ago

I have just obtained a greenhouse heater by P J Bryant
of Bristol. Can any member help me with any copies of instruction
books or advertising material. The heater is about 122 diameter
with two large copper tubes about 3 feet long across the top.
Quite a large item but defiantly of interest.
Cheers. Dave.

I checked my Teagle Jetcut this morning. No numbers on the belt
but it measured 27 inches round the outer of the belt. I hope that
this is of use to you.
