Bromesberrow Show 2003 had fine weather for the vintage tractor road run with over 30 tractors taking part to raise money for the Air Ambulance. Three enormous John Deere tractors were brought all the way from Bournemouth just to take part. This was the second year that the West Midland Branch of the National Vintage Tractor & Engine Society has held the event at the Village Hall and there was also a great display of stationary engines. In the show competitions the number of entries was up on last year with a good entry from the children. Mrs Rachel Padley was the overall winner in the adult section and was awarded the Albright Memorial Cup and in the children's section Jenny Padley was the overall winner being awarded the Tony Sargeant Memorial Shield. Next year it is hoped to hold the show a little earlier when it is hoped that a Gardening Club will have been formed.

On Wednesday, November 14, there will be a meeting of the Gardening & Social Club, in Bromesberrow Heath Village Hall, to form a committee for the club. It will start at 8pm.
