A spokesman said: "We are proud owners of our own vintage machinery that we exhibit regularly at various steam rallies and shows across the country.

"We are also very lucky to have the use of four acres of land whereby we use our vintage machinery to plough and harvest crops in the traditional manner with the traditional machinery.

"As a club, we regularly host 'road runs' whereby we travel from various locations. We also host ploughing matches whereby club members compete against each other with their vintage tractors and ploughs."
