Castlederg Vintage Farming Rally

The Castlederg Vintage Rally DVD 2002
 

On 25th May 2002 The Castlederg Vintage Club held its annual Vintage Rally and although weather conditions were not ideal, this did not dampen the enthusiasm of the many exhibitors who brought along an abundance of beautifully       restored models, many dating back to the 1930s.

   Interviews were conducted by Willie Graham, a knowledgeable vintage enthusiast himself and Willie discovered many interesting facts from the proud owners of these priceless relics of bygone years.    As well as the cars and tractors there is a large number of stationery engines all done up to perfection and also two steam engines on display.   The ancient practice of churning      butter, making corn dollies and spinning wool into yarn is also demonstrated.   No vintage day could be complete without a thresher and the early form of rope making is carried out with the threshed straw.

      Songs and music includes, Six days on the road, King of the road, The Kesh jig, The old Threshing mill, Convoy and The sunny side of life.
