A message from the Chairman

Welcome to the 78th Annual Match

Greetings to all of our competitors, spectators and sponsors.

I’d like to start by thanking you all for attending and supporting the Bridgwater Ploughing Match last year. We thoroughly enjoyed the day, and overall thought it went well, especially as the weather was kind to us!

I’m excited to have the privilege of being Chairman for a second year, and we are looking forward to welcoming you all back again on the 19th of September, where with some good planning by our Secretary and committee members, we will hopefully have another enjoyable year, with some first-class ploughing as usual.

Wishing you all the best.

Jon Rowe
Chairman
