Hide AdSociety chairman David Wallace said: “We were pleased to see a return to ploughing at Killead. It was a very successful day, and we were blessed with excellent weather and good ground conditions. Thanks to the McCammond family for the use of their land.
“I would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who contributed to the success of the event. There were almost 30 competitors of all ages competing for a share of the silverware, and it was good to see a number of new competitors taking part. We were also delighted to welcome spectators and supporters from the local community.”
Among the spectators was Killead Ploughing Society stalwart Wiemy Erwin who is celebrating her 90th birthday on 11th October. Mrs Erwin has had a long association with the society, and attended her first committee meeting with late husband Stanley in 1953.
The society has taken the decision not to host a dinner in 2021, and the trophies were presented in the field by host Tammy McCammond.
