I used to have a grass cutting biz and like this sport. Usually some during the summer around Worcester. Will try to let folks know.
National Mills weekend is 14th -15th May so if you like some truly eyepopping machinery you can look it up to see whats going on. Wind Mills Water Mills , water turbine driven mills You name it . Often truly awesome to see a mill running and realise it may be hundreds of years old. Google for it

my local windmill has had an extensive restoration, now in full working order (wind permitting)
It goes, it stops (as reqd).

Hate Housework!

Hopefully Tim Booth et al have added it to the list and you can visit free . "Free" means you probably make a donation after for tea and cakes, and talking to proud owners who let you into their homes as new friends. The power is incredible . We excavated Heads Mill. The last miller strawberry jammed himself by getting his smock caught in rotating machinery.. We don't know what was left or how many times he went round.

Was introduced to lawnmower racing last summer by mr baldwin, certainly an 'interesting' sport. Cracking day out!
