Vintage Tractor run for Charity

Charity tractor run raises money for children's charity

Nantwich Agricultural Society's 4th 'Charity vintage and classic tractor road run' took place from Stapeley on Sunday 6th August 2023.

Despite some wet weather the owners of thirty vintage and classic road-legal tractors arrived with their vehicles to Maylands Farm on Broad Lane, Stapeley, Nantwich for a 10am start, to drive along Cheshire roads, before returning to the start point for lunch at 2:30pm.

Their 30 mile route from Stapeley passed through Nantwich then headed to Utkinton, to stop for a half-way break for tea and coffee at Rose Farm Shop, before returning to Stapeley. Tractors left Stapeley in groups of five to reduce traffic congestion.

Prior to the run the tractors were lined up on display on a field at Maylands Farm. Tractor manufacturers to view included David Brown, Ferguson, Ford, Fordson, International, John Deere, Massey Ferguson, McCormick International and Nuffield.

There was also a fund-raising raffle with a selection of donated prizes.

The event was organised by Nantwich Agricultural Society members Deputy Chairman (Nigel Burrows), Vice Chairman (Geoff Callwood) ( and well known in Audlem as Probus Vice President)and their wives Barbara Burrows and Margaret Callwood.

Money raised from the event will go to Action Medical Research for Children -- https://action.org.uk/ -- a UK-wide charity saving and changing children's lives through medical research.
