Excavator aiming for 'third time lucky' at Field Days national finals

Matthew Dallas Reporter from Feilding-Rangitīkei Herald

Morning neighbours,

If you're getting down to Central Districts Field Days this week, be sure to barrack for Bunnythorpe's Jim Beamsley who is competing in the national excavator operator competition.
The event is always a popular draw at the three-day agricultural expo, opening Thursday at Manfeilding.
Field Days has been part of the fabric of Feilding for 30 years. What's your favourite Field Days memory?
