A big thank you

Please allow me space, on behalf of the Warwick Senior Citizens, to say a big “thank you” to Mr Mick Bradford and his band of helpers for once again putting on such a wonderful display of the use of horse power as in bygone years. To see these big gentle giants working the machines is a magnificent sight; a sight that would be lost, if people, such as Mick, didn’t have the retaining and caring for these beautiful animals.
A successful day like this does not run so smoothly without many hours of planning and hard work. To achieve the results and present such a sizable donation to Mick’s favourite charity, Care Flight, shows what a true community minded man he is. Congratulations and thank you, Mick. May you continue to put these displays on for many more years. You not only help a very deserving charity but give our aged people a trip down memory lane and allow the younger generation the opportunity to witness how life used to be on the land.
Marg Wilkie,
Warwick
