Tractors at Heage Windmill
They are always popular and we are again pleased to welcome the ever popular collection of Vintage and Veteran Tractors to Heage Windmill on Sunday, September 4th ,from 11-00 am until 4-00pm. These old pieces of farming equipment complement the 220 year old windmill and helped change the farm industry for ever , making horses almost redundant. They include 60 year old Ford and Massey Fergusons and have mostly been restored to pristine condition.
John Allsop , who organises the Tractor group, said ‘We are always happy to come to the windmill and will be pleased to be back again in September’. There are many photo opportunities and even the chance of sitting on board one! Tours of the mill and light refreshments will, of course, be available.
To help pay for the recent repairs to the windmill the exclusive use of a holiday cottage in Belper, for one week, was donated ,free of charge,to be used as a raffle prize. The draw will take place at 12-00 noon, although a few last remaining tickets, at £2-50 each, will still be on sale before hand, with all proceeds going to the repair fund, which has so far raised almost £60,000 since last September to help cover the costs incurred.
