Vintage and modern tractors in action
One of the rural highlights of the Manx winter takes place today (Saturday 19th).
The 82nd Cronk-y-Voddy Ploughing Match gets underway at 10.30am at Ballakaighen Farm, Cronk-y-Voddy.
All are welcome to watch the vintage and modern tractors and of course the ever-popular horses in action in world and Manx styles.
Tea, coffee bacon and sausage baps and the best cakes in the west will be available in the infamous refreshments tent to help keep out the cold.
The match finishes at 3.15pm and a prize presentation, concert and supper will take place in the Methodist Hall, St Johns at 7.45pm, chaired by Dot Tilbury MBE.
Proceeds this year will go to the charity "Bridge the Gap".
