Each year the club organises a programme of its own events. Most notable of these is the 3 Coasts Run which sees club and friends on a six day journey from Hale to Whitby and back.
The journey is approximately 550 miles and was featured in a Granada TV series "Obsessions" whch followed the route in 2000.

2004 saw our intrepid travellers venture to Benidorm. 2500 miles in 5 weeks.

A club road run is held in Christmas week. This usually attracts sixty+ tractors on a run of 15-20 miles around Cheshire.

Autumn is our most active time with a ploughing match in September, a working day is late September, and threshing day in November, and a couple of new road runs this year.
