Membership is open to anyone with an interest in working vintage agricultural machinery.
Membership runs from 1st April – at 31st March and currently costs £16 per year. Membership is for a “family” and covers up to two adults living at the same address. Normally we offer “extended membership” to those joining between the end of November an the end of March, where membership from the date of joining to the end of March the following year is just £20! An Ideal Christmas present for anyone with an interest in the subject!
