Vintage Tractor Rally

The Ayrshire Vintage Tractor and Motor Club held a charity run on Sunday 19th April. This started and finished at Alstons B C Ltd's premises at Benston Smithy Cumnock.

The run was in aid of Cumnock Academy's Learning Support Fund. Below are some pictures of the tractors that turned out on a glorious April day. There were 111 tractors from all over the south west taking part. Further pictures will appear shortly.

This is the first tractor away on the day!

Alstons B C Ltd Sponsor Local Rugby Club

We are pleased to announce that we are now the proud sponsors of Cumnock Rugby Club's Under 17 team. We believe that local companies, like ourselves, should support clubs like Cumnock Rugby Club. The sponsorship deal allows the club to have professional looking shirts to play in and allow extra funds to be available for travelling outwith the area to play against other teams.





The first display of the teams new shirts was in a mini-tour of Northern Ireland against two of the best teams in Ireland and beat them decisively.

The picture above shows the new strips havig been handed over to the team and on display. Gordon Alston and Derek MacDonald, directors of Alstons B C Ltd are pictured left and right of the squad.

MOT For Tractors

MOT's for Tractors is something that looks as though it will coming along soon. There will be many tractors out on the roads, that if they were to go through an MOT similar to a car they would probably not pass.
Simple items like lights, indicators or beacons not working properly could get you stopped by the police. Other areas which are more dangerous e.g. brakes, could easily cause serious accidents.
Why not let us check over your tractor to ensure it is safe and road worthy.
