Scenic roads and barbecue for participants of Tractor and Classic Car Run

Published

on

THE PICTURESQUE landscape of South Pembrokeshire provided the perfect backdrop for the Pembroke Farmers’ Tractor and Classic Car Runs, culminating in a delightful barbecue at Summerhill Farm. The event, which took place on Sunday (July 14) was organised by local enthusiasts Phyllis and Mike. They brought together a vibrant mix of vintage tractors and classic cars, each taking their own scenic routes before reuniting for a communal feast.

Participants in the classic car run enjoyed a leisurely drive along the coastal roads, showcasing their meticulously restored vehicles against the stunning sea views. Meanwhile, the tractor run, featuring an array of heritage tractors, took a separate route through the lush countryside, offering a nostalgic journey through Pembroke’s farming history.

The event concluded at Summerhill Farm, where the aroma of a hearty barbecue greeted the returning drivers and their families. The atmosphere was filled with camaraderie and shared stories of the day’s adventures, as attendees savored freshly grilled fare amidst the serene farm setting.

Phyllis and Mike, the dedicated organisers, expressed their gratitude to everyone who participated and supported the event. “It’s wonderful to see our community come together and enjoy a day celebrating our agricultural heritage and love for classic cars,” said Phyllis. Mike added, “We’re already looking forward to next year’s run and making it even more memorable.”

The Pembroke Farmers’ Tractor and Classic Car Run and Barbecue not only highlighted the beauty of South Pembrokeshire but also reinforced the strong sense of community among local farmers and car enthusiasts.

MILFORD HAVEN BUSINESS CIRCLE is calling on the community to join the launch of its new Litter-Free Zone.

In partnership with Keep Wales Tidy Pembrokeshire, the initiative aims to create a cleaner, greener town centre while promoting environmental responsibility and community pride.

The event marks a collective effort to raise awareness about the importance of maintaining a litter-free environment and highlights the far-reaching benefits of a cleaner town centre.

The organisation says that a cleaner, more attractive town centre is key to drawing visitors and potential investors.

This initiative is expected to stimulate economic activity, benefiting local businesses and encouraging growth in Milford Haven.

The project not only enhances the town’s appearance but also instils a sense of pride among residents. By improving cleanliness, the initiative aims to encourage more community participation in local events and activities.

Reducing litter has significant environmental benefits, including:

  • Protecting Wildlife: Preventing harm to animals caused by ingestion or entanglement.
  • Cleaner Air and Water: Reducing pollution in streets and waterways, fostering healthier ecosystems.
  • Sustainable Practices: Encouraging recycling and proper waste disposal to cut down on the town’s environmental footprint.
  • Creating Green Spaces: Supporting the development of habitats, recreational areas, and improved air quality for residents.

The Milford Haven Business Circle believes this initiative will set a strong example for other communities, demonstrating the power of collective action in fostering a sustainable future.

By joining this movement, participants can contribute to making Milford Haven a shining example of environmental care and community cooperation. Let’s work together to transform our town into a cleaner, greener space for all to enjoy.
