The Steam Plough Club  - keeping ploughing engines, tackle and the old skills alive

The Steam Plough Club has over 400 members world wide interested in steam ploughing with its engines and implements, personalities and rich history.  Founded in 1966 by the late Harold Bonett the club is about keeping the tackle operating; not just the machinery but passing on the old skills too. Members of our Club would be pleased to have your help and assistance so that together we can give the steam plough engine its proper place in the history of British agricultural engineering.

The Club organises regular Hands On Weekends to give members an opportunity to learn from the experts, to drive an engine and steer the plough. This will take place on  25th & 26th September 2010 at Richard Vernons premises near Lutterworth, Leicestershire.

The Hands On 2010 is now full, John is taking names for a reserve list and they will be taken in strict date order if vacancies occur.  e-mail
