What happens at a ploughing match? Competitors, Judges and ploughing.

I meet the competitors, judges and watch the action the ploughing matches. I learn a bit about what each competitor is trying to achieve when ploughing. What the judges are looking for. I meet some truly lovely people who took part in the Antique Power Group Vintage Club Ploughing Match just outside Shirenewton, Gwent, South Wales. Ploughing Match South Wales. What shone through was the competitiveness and the camaraderie.
Ploughing matches are held on a local level throughout the country, with the majority being held during September, October and November although many are now held in the spring.
