On
a dry but overcast May morning, the Sunday of the Spring Bank
Holiday weekend, some 160 vintage tractors gathered at Wenhaston
for the 11th East Suffolk Vintage Tractor Run. The event started
and finished on land at Church Farm, Wenhaston (by kind permission
of Roger Desborough) and was again a well-organised event bringing
pleasure to many and much needed funds to this year’s
beneficiaries.
The
2009 route featured a lunch stop in Westhall, passing
through Wenhaston, Holton, Westhall, and Spexhall
along the way. The vintage tractors looked splendid, some
bedecked with balloons and flags, some towing trailers
so that the family could come along for the ride. As they
drove along their way, along country roads and lanes, they
were greeted enthusiastically by other road-users and sight-seers.
A DVD of this event is available from Arthur Musk, telephone
