The British National Ploughing Championships move location every October. They continue to attract some 280 local champions from throughout the country, who in 2009, meet in Soham, Cambridgeshire. The event is run by the Society of Ploughmen.
Founded in 1972, with more than 250 local ploughing societies affiliated to it, the Society is a vibrant, thriving organisation and an influential member of the World Ploughing Organisation.
However membership is not restricted to ploughmen and women alone. Anyone can join and there are many members who have joined purely out of a love of farming and the countryside.
