In addition to the museum, we frequently like to get out and about in the community showcasing our collection. Recent and upcoming events include:

Threshing and Chaff Days

Throughout the Year

We run a range of Chaff Cutting and Threshing Days throughout the year as a chance to put our machinery to the test and celebrate the workhorses of yesteryear. These events also work as fundraisers for the club with proceeds put towards the storage and protection of our vintage tractors at Kyle Park.

Come along and see first hand how chaff was made many years ago. Our plan is that the chuff cutter will be driven by one of the club traction engines!!!!

Please call Jack White 027 285 6401 if you are wanting any further information.
