A small group of local farmers were sitting in the pub talking about old tractors and farming machinery that they had used in the past and how different it was to the present day. \n A lot of this old machinery at the end of its life\, was just left in the back of the barn or out of the way in the dark depths of the farm yard. It was decided after several more pints to dig out the old gear and restore it back to working order\, so\, over the next few months and when time permitted\, the tyres were pumped up and the old machines were brought out of retirement. \n The use of a local field was obtained\, and the date set for what they all thought would be just a few people playing on their old tractors and machinery. However\, somehow word got out\, and quite a few people turned up to watch the events of the day. \n It was around this time that the vintage movement\, as we know it today\, was starting to get off the ground\, and it was decided to hold a rally of our own and the Northumberland Vintage Tractor Club was born. It has grown over the years to become the success it is today.\nThis is an old favourite show with BVAC members. This Vintage Tractor Club Event now has a Vintage Auction (Saturday) Trade Stands\, Car Boot Sale\, Steam Engines\, and on the Sunday there are displays of Vintage and Classic Cars\, Commercial Vehicles\, Motor Bikes\, Tractors & Farm Machinery \n\n \n \n\n \n \n\n  \n\nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.This Entry Form is for BVAC Members attending the NVTC BruntonHow to use this form: Please complete the form below and then click on submit at the bottom to send in your entry. \n\nShow Stand Co-ordinator: \nDennis Fortune \nEdgewater\n146 Roxburgh Street\nKelso\nTD5 7DY\n\nYour DetailsNB: All vehicles driven in the event must be roadworthy with valid insurance\, road tax and\, where appropriate\, MOT.BVAC MEMBERSHIP *Please enter your BVAC Membership NumberYour Name *FirstLastAddress *Address Line 1Address Line 2CityState / Province / RegionPostal CodeEmail *Telephone *Your VehicleMake *ModelYear *Reg.

Close to the source of the mighty river\, this heroic and romantic valley joins the parishes of Stobo\, Dawyck and Drumelzier. John Buchan set some of his novels in this area. The gardens have many fine and enormous specimen trees from all over the world. The valley gardens present ever changing vistas of great variety as you walk and contrast with the woodland walks and sculpture trail.\nAt the time of our visit\, if we are lucky\, there will be swathes of Meconopsis\, the Himalayan blue poppy. The roads around the area offer a fine drive. We hope that you will come in your vintage or Classic auto but if necessary\, come in something more modern. \nTo book places please email me at chrisjbiggs@btinternet.com with number and names of those attending.
