Description

We see shots of people setting up pitches at Wilford Lane sports ground, West Bridgford, for a rally. We then see shots of vehicles arriving and people setting up stalls. Following this we see stills of old photographs and titles. The film continues with shots of vehicles setting off on a run through Nottingham and then shots back at the ground of vehicles lined up and people looking around. There are shots of tractor racing and guest of honour, Alderman Mrs Anne Yates, the chair of Nottinghamshire County Council riding in a fire engine. We also see prize cups being presented and people packing up at the end of the day. (The audio track is music and effects with a short section of commentary naming the guest of honour).
