2017 Event - Vintage, classic and modern combines and tractors were used at our event at Hoveringham, Notts to raise money for the Teenage Cancer Trust on Sunday 20 August. This was the second harvest event held in memory of Rachel Clifford who died from cancer in January 2016 just weeks after her 18th birthday.
During Rachel's illness the Teenage Cancer Trust helped and supported her and her family and also provided new ward facilities at the Queen's Medical Centre during her time undergoing treatment there and her family have organised various events to support this charity.
The event was really well support with a huge turnout on one of the only fine days in August this year which was much needed to be able to be harvest the field of barley. We hope everyone enjoyed the event and for those who were unable to make it there is still the opportunity to make donations via this page.
Many thanks to those people have supported this event.
