Sad news

2014-09-29T16:39:00.001+01:00

It is with great sadness the club learns of the passing of one of our founder members Ken Smith.

Ken had been involved in the NWTPC since it began back in 1979. His Tractor named Lancashire Lady with chryslers then Chevy's on was one of the first "powerful" mods in the UK.

He was then the first in the UK to build a 2wd. The Legend and Hero was a crowd favourite and was recently brought back to the track by Kens son Edd

Ken was never shy of speaking his mind , and Club meetings with him were always colourful but fun! It was his drive and passion for the sport that helped to get the Club to where it is today. He was still in the background checking up on the committee at the Show pull this year

Ken , you will be missed by the pulling world, but especially by all of us in the NWTPC.

Our thoughts are with His Family at this time

Kens Funeral will be held On the 7th of Oct at 10am

St James the Great church, Church Lane, Wrightington w Heskin, Lancashire, WN6 9SN

Attention all tractor pulling fans At the Great Eccleston August Pull last year we arranged for a competition between two well known celebrities to be filmed for Channel 5 as part of a new series entitled "Rory & Will, Champions of the World". This series involves Rory McGrath and Will Mellor competing against each other and also the current "champion" in various not so well known sports to try and become "Champions of the World" in that sport. The "tutors" were Mark Pacey and Andy Miller, not sure how much help we were really!! Many thanks to everyone involved in making it happen particularly Paul & Jamie Haylock, Mark & Elise Pacey, Mark Barnes and his team, Jane for the catering and the NWTPC for letting us fit it in the filming when we could on the day The series finale is on Monday 18th February at 9pm on Channel 5 and includes the challenge from the Great Eccleston event where they competed in the 950kg Mini Modified B class against the 2012 British Champion...........tune in and see how they got on!!
