Here is a little background on what we do and why we do it, unfortunately we lost our family friend John Allen AKA Mr Blobby in 2022, he was a lovely man and loved his tractors, going out on his vintage tractor to various events over the years, it was only right we did something in his memory. In 2023 we held our first tractor run in memory of John and it was a roaring success raising over £1400 that was split equally between the British Heart foundation and leukemia research both being Charities that John's family chose to support at his funeral we carried that on. we decided each year going forward we would like to support as many other charities that we can so 2024 brings us chance to support another , this time we chose the Air Ambulance service, being a vital service that receives no government support we are hoping to raise as much as we can in 2024 for this brilliant service. We look forward to seeing you on 25th may from 10am at the Railway inn, shottle, Belper, Derbyshire, De56 2LF. (Huge thanks for hosting us again)

We were supported so well by the amazing companies below and even more prizes turned in on the day from places like Duffield Club, The Nags Head - Hulland ward, J&M roofing East midlands and Janeyb_photogrpahy. We didn't anticipate such a huge turnout and got to The Railway inn at around 9:30am to set up for a 10am start and it was already busy! We were obviously Thrilled! The event turned in 38 tractors of both modern and old style and we were supported by the series 2 Landrover club aswell! we sold cupcakes and biscuits and even had tractor shaped balloons on sticks for the children, Our biggest earner was no doubt our huge raffle which made a staggering £2008 of the takings!
