Tractor Pulling on Channel 5 TV - 18th February 2013

 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!!
