| DANCING
DOES |
| For
Saturday only, in the Main Ring, you will
be entertained by the Famous Dancing Does.
The team will impress you with their routine
- so don't miss it at 11.30am or 1.45pm.
The doe triple D or doe dual drive was
designed to solve the problem of there
not being many high horsepower tractors
available. |
 |
Two
skid units were joined together to give
the machine high horsepower, it also had
the ability to turn at 90 degrees and run
on only one engine if necessary. It was
not sold only in the uk, many were exported.
It was originally based on two fordson major
units and was up rated with the launch of
the super major. There were many variations
of the basic design and when newer ford
6x skid units and ford forces units were
employed, they were named the doe 130 and
doe 150. |

| SHEEP
SHOW (Countryside Area) |
 |
The
Sheep
Show is a fun and educational look
at different breeds of sheep with the
emphasis on wool. The show is now more
popular than ever - appearing at over
40 venues during the year 2000 in front
of an estimated audience of 1.6 million
people! |
| Each
show lasts around 30 minutes and several
shows are performed during the day from
the Sheep Show's own self-contained 40ft
stage trailer, complete with sound and lighting
- all that is required is an enthusiastic
audience! |

| TRENT
VALLEY PRESERVATION SOCIETY |
| The
Travelling Farm and bygones Museum is what
we are often referred to and we are no strangers
to most of you. We meet on a monthly basis
in Collingham Memorial Hall enjoying guest
speakers and demonstrations covering a varied
range of topics. During the summer months
we are busy travelling and exhibiting at
numerous shows, fetes and ploughing matches
sometimes as far a field as Scotland.
The Society was formed
in 1970 by a small group of enthusiastic
collectors preserving and sometimes restoring
equipment to display. We also have a well
preserved ex Land Army Girl, founder member,
who never misses a meeting.
Our
Exhibition is situated near the Cedric
Ford Pavilion and should you be interested
or have bygones yourself new members are
most welcome. We encourage children if
accompanied with an adult to join too.
No collection is too small. “We
of the present preserve the past for the
future”
