From The Chair

FROM THE CHAIR/CLUB NEWS BY: FFA Chairman Pat Pawsey

Prior to Ernie creating this website, our sole method of communication was via the magazine, the only other alternative is by post which unfortunately must be ruled out on cost alone.
 
The magazine has proved to be an excellent vehicle for disseminating club news and I do not see this changing, however, it is clear that as Ford and Fordson Tractors is a bimonthly publication and as the deadline for copy to be submitted to it is about a month before it drops through your doors, some three months can pass between an item of interest coming to our attention and to your being told about it.
To try and keep you better informed we shall, for a trial period, be publishing a regular ‘Club News’ item on this website. It will also feature items sent in by area representatives of ‘happenings’ they would like brought to your attention and you the members who have something you would like aired.

Please email items that you wish to be featured to Pat Pawsey and we will do our best to include the most topical. We shall also include stories of interest that have missed publication previously due to editorial constraints or for other reasons.

Make no mistake this is your club and we need both input from you and feedback on the content we publish if it is to work properly.

I hope you enjoy reading these In the Chair information pages as it is my way of keeping the Members up to date with what is going on with Your FFA.

At the bottom of this page, you can choose a year and view by month the updates and news for the club. After selecting a year, please choose a month at the top of the page named for example "In The Chair 2012". Or use the navigation on the drop-down from the main menu by hovering over "From The Chair".

TVO Licence

TVO Licence Information

General Licence to Mix Hydrocarbon Oils

The Ford and Fordson Association have been granted a licence under regulation 43 of the Hydrocarbon Oil Regulations 1973.

This enables the mixing of rebated kerosene with other road fuels (but not red Diesel) for vintage tractor models that were in production before 1960.  Rebated (Red) diesel may only be used in the TVO mixture if the tractor is used solely for agricultural, horticultural or forestry work; rallies, road runs, ploughing competitions, demonstrations and similar activities are not considered to be eligible.

Mixing is only permitted in the fuel tank of the vehicle concerned and is not to be used in any other vehicle.  It is not permissible to mix these oils in bulk for resale. Any instances of misuse may result in the withdrawal of the concession and any breach of thee terms of the licence may constitute an offence.

Members who own qualifying tractors may obtain a copy of the licence that will enable them to mix their own or purchase rebated kerosene from an RDCO by applying to:

The Club Secretary Jane Broomhall on 01379 677866 / 07884 115089
or email: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. 

A copy of the licence and conditions will be provided free of charge to members.

DVLA

DVLA Registration

Registering a vehicle:


The DVLA publishes a list of Vehicle Owners Clubs (V765/1) which contains details of those clubs they sanction to provide evidence for registering vehicles. The clubs are split into three categories, cars, motorcycles and others, together with each club’s nominee and their contact details. Those listed are accredited by the DVLA to provide evidence of the date a vehicle was manufactured which is a mandatory requirement to register it. Dating evidence from non-accredited individuals will not be accepted.

The DVLA’s requirements for the source of the evidence to date a vehicle are quite specific. The club’s nominated representative must send examples of the evidence they hold to gain approval.

Vehicle registration or re-registration falls into four main categories. The specifics vary in each case but in all cases are dependent on the presence of a vehicle identification number (VIN number) and specific dating evidence being marked on the vehicle. Of course what exactly constitutes this depends on the manufacturer and model of vehicle. The categories
are:

1. To register a vehicle, that is unregistered, either because it has never been registered or the registration mark is not known.

2. To retain an existing mark i.e. it has previously been registered, for example it bears a number plate showing the complete registration mark, the procedure varies depending whether documentary evidence is or is not held.

3. To retain an existing mark for a vehicle that is already on the DVLA’s database. This can be determined by going to https://www.gov.uk/get-vehicle-information-from-dvla and putting in the registration mark. If it is on the database obtain a V62 from a Post Office and follow the instructions.

4. ‘Q plates’ are a particular problem and can only be dealt with on an individual basis.

Over the years the DVLA, at the request of other government agencies and to prevent abuses within the system have, continually refined the process.

A vehicle owner can approach any Vehicle Owners Club on the DVLA’s list to obtain dating evidence.

I started helping members to register their vehicles some years ago. If a member would like my help to register a vehicle for road use, please email the name and address it is to be registered to, a contact number, the make and model and, if previously registered, the registration number and what evidence, if any, is held to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. Please do not send photographs at this stage.
