Dave's Tractor Run
On Sunday 18th August, Dave's Tractor Run by Coalville Belvoir Rotary Club took to the roads around Ibstock and Coalville. In its third year, the tractor run attracts local tractor enthusiasts young and old. On the day we had 12 vehicles in the run, including vintage tractors, a unimog, vintage land rover and a recovery truck.
The aim of the tractor run is to raise money for local charities and this year we raised an amazing £958.56 for Age UK Leicester Shire and Rutland.
We are very grateful to the local sponsors of the event, Andersons Commercial who brought along a number of vehicles, Moulton Farm Machinery, NFU, Cooks, Ibstock plc, Startin Tractors, Secure-a-field and Sharnford Tractors.
The run started off at Caetano in Heather, then headed through Ibstock, where many people were lining the streets to see the tractors. They headed through Ravenstone where a little girl was holding a lovely hand drawn poster, which said girls love tractors too - it was really heartwarming to see and have the support. We then went into Coalville, going through the town centre into Hugglescote and Ellistown and out to Battram.
It was then back into Ibstock where we finished at Ibstock Country Fair with a turn around the main ring.
Whilst in the ring, Don Bailey, President of the Rotary Club, presented the Best Tractor Award to Charlie Crane who was driving an International 454.
Dave would personally like to thank everyone involved in organising the event, to everyone who came out to support and to Ibstock Country Fair for allowing us to attend the event.
We look forward to seeing you at the tractor run in 2025!
The Ibstock Country Fair
A fun packed day was had by all at the Ibstock Country Fair where we welcomed many visitors at our stall. We had our famous ‘Hook a Duck’ along with a tombola and the ‘Key Box’ game.
Ibstock Country Fair is a great event and we express our thanks to the organisers who have welcomed us to be part of it.
As you can see in the photos* there were many happy faces and winners. Thanks to all of you who supported us and we look forward to seeing you all next year.
