Harper Adams Tractor Pull

February 2010

A group of 7 students from Harper Adams University College, studying for degrees in Tourism & Business Management and Adventure Recreation must complete a module titled 'Events Management' which requires them to organise and run an event.

The organisers decided to arrange charity tractor pull in the HAUC grounds. All proceeds were for RABI.

The event involved teams racing head to head to pull a tractor over a distance of 30m, with various prizes being awarded for the fastest teams.
Ravenhill New Holland and John Deere Rea Valley Tractors kindly provided tractors for the event.

The amount raise has not yet been finalised but a big thank you to everyone at Harper Adams for their support.
