The Weald of Kent Ploughing Match Association held another successful Plough Match in 2023 at
Reed Court Farm, Hunton Road, Chainhurst, Tonbridge, Kent, TN12 9SX by kind permission of Fridays Ltd on Saturday 16th September 2023. With blue skies and the sun shining the day was a great success.
The association is very proud to announce that over £10,000 was donated to the following local charities: Kent Hounds (formerly supported Ashford Valley Tickham Hunt), Bolebroke Beagles, Cardiac Risk in the Young (in memory of Ben Hammond), Dandelion Time, Homewood School Young Farmers, Kent, Surrey & Sussex Air Ambulance Trust, Medical Detection Dogs, R.A.B.I, Riding for the Disabled Association, The Farming Community Network, Ashford and District Young Farmers' Club, Pukka Ponies Equine Rescue, Hands of Hope, Mount Lodge, Frittenden Pre-School outdoor canopy fundraiser and the Weald of Kent Young Farmers' Club. The Chairman’s charity of choice this year is the Childhood Interstitial Lung Disease, a charity very close to the heart of our committee members.
The Weald of Kent Plough Match invited people to enjoy a fun-filled day including Gymkhana, Terrier Racing, a Raffle, the Tossing of the Sheaf and most importantly a very successful and cheerful Ploughing Competition.
The association wishes to thank our hosts Fridays Ltd for allowing this event to take place and to BTF Partnership for their invaluable and continued support for the 2023 event.
