Welcome to the August/September issue of The Vintage Scene

Well, it has certainly been a busy time here at The Vintage Scene. We have just relocated our office, hence the delay in bringing this issue to you.

Although it has been an extremely wet summer to date, and sadly some events have been cancelled, we do have a nice selection of reports in this issue.Our diary pages seem to be growing, and my colleague Zoe Phipps has done a cracking job collating so many dates for you to choose from. Zoe is happy to receive diary listings for inclusion in the next issue - email diary@vintagescene.co.uk Whilst the listings are brief, we do offer advertisers a free bold listing or if not running a display advert, bold listings are available for just £10+vat!

We shall be attending the FFF & B Ploughing Match & Country Show on 30th September. Please do pop by and say hello if you are attending.

See you again in October.

We would love to hear from readers with: l Tales of bygone years l Tractor and engine restorations l Vintage collections – machinery, tools etc. l Editorial on steam and stationary engines l Diary dates l Show/match/rally/working day reports email: h.dodd@vintagescene.co.uk
