The auction was a success for the Ferguson Implement sales. Although prices obtained for the modern dairy items were on the poor to low side.

This year marks the start of Massey Ferguson’s 50th anniversary.  1958 -2008, 50 years of the Massey Ferguson Brand.

Dear All Just to record the passing of Sir Edmund Hilary aged 88. Not only did he conquer Everest with Tensing Norgay but also led the party that saw three Ferguson TE tractors cross the South Pole leaving fuel dumps for Vivien Fuchs' trans continent expedition by SnowCat. Hilary made the return trip with Fuchs and teh SnowCat's leaving the Ferguson's behind. A great man who contributed to the legend that is Ferguson. Regards Duncan

I would like to take this opportunity of introducing you to our new advertising offer.

Firstly, my name is Harry Turkington and I have been appointed as our Commercial Advertising Manager. Our club has a membership of 1500 and each receive 3 copies annually of our Journal. The vast majority of our members are actively engaged in tractor restoration, including the very many implements which Harry Ferguson designed and manufactured. Our new advertising rates are shown below and is self explanatory. We have included costs for colour, should you consider that without it your advert may not "catch the eye", as it were,but in the main most of our current adverts are "Black & White".  Please consider our new rates and if you are interested in advertising please contact me (details below). It is worth noting that a considerable number of our members and friends support our advertising very well, and our executive committee actively encourage them to do so.

I look forward to your valued instructions, and hopefully we can proceed with your advertising requirements in our next journal. Very many thanks for taking the time to consider this matter, and I can assure you of my very best attention to your reply.
