At our recent club  meeting, committee members presented a cheque for £1750 to the Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA) with money raised from the Club’s annual raffle. Thanks to everyone who took part this year and helped us to raise this tremendous sum for the charity.

We’re looking for some long-strawed wheat to use with a binder at the Rally next year. If anyone has some that they can let us have, preferably in the Strathkinness or Peat Inn areas, please let John Sinksi, or one of the other committee members know.

There’s plenty to see and do for all the family and we’ve got action in the ring throughout the day. Back by popular demand again this year we have our special Pedal Tractor class for the kids. We’ve also got special displays this year commemorating 80 years since the start of WW2 and the role agriculture played in the war.

Only two weeks to go until our Vintage Rally and Farming Heritage Show at Kilmaron in Cupar. We start the weekend on Saturday June 8th with an auction and agri-jumble sale, followed by the main rally on Sunday June 9th starting at 10.30 a.m. This year we’ve got a special theme of farming in WW2 to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the start of World War II. We’ll also have a special feature on Beet and field-scale vegetable production.

We’ll have all kinds of vintage vehicles at the show, with plenty of action in the ring all day. On Sunday, we’ll be making the draw for our Charity Raffle for 2019 where you’ve got the chance to win a superb Fordson Super Dexta vintage tractor (or a £400 alternative cash prize), or one of the many other smaller prizes. Proceeds from the Raffle this year will be going to the SCAA, Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance. If you haven’t bought your raffle ticket yet, don’t worry as we’ll be selling them throughout the day at the Rally.

Entry to the Rally is £8 for Adults and £5 for concessions. Children – free.

Kids – bring along a Peddle Tractor to the Rally and enter our Power Pedal Competition on Sunday 9th and we’ll admit one parent to the rally free!

This year’s FVAMC Road Run takes place this Sunday, 21st April 2019 starting at 10.00 am from Bruckley Farm, near Guardbridge, St Andrews, KY16 9YF.

This year, the route will take us around North East Fife, taking in the villages of Strathkinness, Balmullo, Dairsie, Tayport and Balmerino, with a stop at the Tay Bridge for lunch. With the weather forecast looking sunny and warm for this weekend, it’s a good chance to blow the cobwebs off your tractor after a long winter in the shed, so come along and join us on the run!

A reminder that all drivers should have a full driving licence and insurance to take part in the run.

Entry fee for the run: £10 – pay on the day.

The Tractor World Scotland show is on this weekend (23/24th March 2019) at the Royal Highland Showground, Ingliston. Come along and see us on our stand, featuring exhibits and machinery related to the themes of our Rally this year, Farming in WW2 and Neeps. We’ll also have the top prize in our Charity Raffle on display, a 1964 Super Dexta. This year we are supporting the Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA) with our charity raffle. SCAA operate Scotland’s only charity-funded air ambulance helicopter from their base in Scone and provide a vital rapid response service for emergencies in many of Scotland’s more rural and remote areas.

The Tractor World Scotland show is now in it’s second year and has moved to the larger Highland Hall at the Royal Highland Centre with lots more exhibitors, trade stands and stalls. If you’ve not already been to the show, the final day this year is Sunday 24th March, so come along and see us on the FVAMC stand!

The Club dinner will be held on Friday, 7th December at the Lomond Hills Hotel. If you’ve not already done so, could you please let John Sinksi know if you plan to come along so that he can confirm numbers with the hotel.
