The popularity of hobby of collecting Tractors and Construction Plant has lead to a growth in the number of shows and meets were owners and interested individuals can meet up show off their machinery, swap and trade parts and expertise, as well as generally have a good day out. These have grown out of the County shows for the farming community and the Steam Fairs, as well as Trade shows and open days hosted by Industrial sites and commercial farms.
