The North-West Tractor Pullers Club (NWTPC) have been busy making improvements to the track and spectator areas at the Great Eccleston showground in an effort to bring them up to the latest European Tractor Pullers Committee (ETPC) Euro-Cup standards. These include:
- increase the track and run out area to 150m long
- added extra crash barriers round the end of the track
- improved the lower banking spectator viewing area
- provided a banking for competitors to view the action
- increased the hard standing area in the pits
- improvements to the VIP area
The NWTPC would like to thank those companies who provided plant and equipment to make this work possible.
Special thanks to Kiernan Construction, EXC@V8, and M. J. Wilkinson.
Many thanks to all the club members who turned up to help for their hard work too. Last but not the least, thanks also to members of the Great Eccleston & District Agricultural Society.
Thanks for the update re the show. Is there any chance that schedules could be put on the internet somewhere please? (Light horse section especially!)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment! I'll look into it and see what information is available at this moment in time.
ReplyDeleteHi, Please can you tell me what time the Tractor Pulling is on for Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th. Thanks
ReplyDeleteHello Louise, I have a feeling the Tractor Pulling will start late afternoon on the Saturday from about 5pm and finish late perhaps about 11pm. On Sunday they usually start in the morning about 11am and goes on until late afternoon. Fingers crossed for good weather.
ReplyDeleteThere are other pulls going on that same weekend down in Wales, my thoughts are with those guys too. It's all good stuff. Can't wait to hear the noise of those modifieds.
