The event - to raise money for two charities - was organised by Devizes Young Farmers. It all went without a hitch, with only one tractor breaking down, until the convoy reached Marlborough. A lone protestor parked his car across the High Street forcing the a number of tractors to do a U turn. There was some pretty fancy three point turning going on, said Harry Stokes, Devizes young farmers chairman. I m not sure why he was protesting, but we didn t want to make a scene, so we just turned around. It was such a great day. The best thing about it was that we could see people in their driveways and on the streets all the way from when we started in Devizes.
Devizes Young Farmers are organising the event, which is aimed at raising cash for two charities. The farmers and the police are working together to manage the traffic flow as it rolls out from TH White in Devizes. The event also has the full support of the police and council to ensure all road users are kept safe. It will be following a route through Rushall, Oare and stopping at St Johns School Marlborough, then Cross Country to Stanton St Bernard, Horton and finish back at T H White Ltd, Devizes. They want to raise money for Wiltshire Air Ambulance and for Motor Neurone Disease. Prizes will be awarded for best dressed tractors.
