[FTR3456]

A very good turn out for the 150th Christchurch A&P show. Good weather for the 3 days but a bit of a cool breeze from the east. Earle Warwick had done a great job to have a stand of W.A.McLaren agent to have 4hp (1834roller) 5hp (1266) 6hp (1174) 7hp (919) 8hp (1719) and 10hp (957) as well as our McLaren plough.

Hi Arthur, I hope John W or Earle will put some up as mine got stolen. I was hopeing someone had picked it up and handed it in, But no luck. I should all so say that John Hawkins had the Sawmill display there and Calder family with the big Mill.

I don't own a camera, so no photos from me unfortunately, but if I've done this correctly, here's the video of us heading in there.

Thanks, a good video. Nice incline up from the traffic lights, made them work a little.
An unusual threshing drum with the elevator attached, keeps the engine people dry.
Nice to see the recently acquired Sentinel wagon out and about (ex Rory Wolfe)

I think Sam had half a Red light. Bit of a laugh.

Do you have any more photos of the Mclaren Roller?

[mac957]

Afraid not sorry. But with any luck I might have some more photos coming my way from a couple of other people later in the week, so I'll put some up then.
