EARLS BARTON RALLY & COUNTRY FAYRE
The 14Th earLS Barton rally and Country Fayre takes place this august Bank holiday weekend, Saturday 27th to Monday 29th, at Whites Nurseries which is just off junction 10 of the a45 between Northampton and Wellingborough (post code NN6 0eP for sat nav lovers) and we hope that you will come and join us and enjoy a grand day out with us. There will be the usual mix of vintage transport from full sized traction engines and miniatures, through commercial, military, cars, tractors and motorbikes. Countryside area including pony rides, ferret racing, country crafts, static birds of prey display and rock climbing wall; plus traditional fairground rides, children's entertainers, face painting, trade stands, craft marquee, vintage cinema, food outlets and beer tent. adrian Smith will be performing his Mighty Smith Strong Man act in the ring. We have lost the use of the ploughing field this year, following the death of the farmer we rented it from last autumn, and so are sorry that there will be no tractor ploughing competition or demonstrations.
There will be the usual annual Collective Sale by Public auction on the Saturday at 10am, with entries for it being taken on Friday 26th only, further details for this from robert hollowell 07960 082975.
after having to cancel last year's rally at short notice due to the site being water logged after the torrential rain at the beginning of that week, we are hoping that the weather will be kind to us and that we have a good event, and can get back to being able to make donations to groups and charities with local connections. each year we also have a grand raffle for a chosen charity and this year it is for the Cynthia Spencer hospice in Northampton, this will be situated next to Control so please come and support us.
