𝐂𝐥𝐮𝐛 𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭

Following our 𝐌𝐢𝐝𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝟏𝐗𝐈s emphatic win last night (albeit v a very depleted opposition), points adjustment to come & results elsewhere, we are pleased to announce that little old Grimoldby, have been crowned 𝐃𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝟏 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐌𝐏𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒 of the .

Starting off in D5 in 2017, we have won all but one of the divisions & a Cup Final on our journey. This season was meant to be about surviving in the top division, playing & learning from others who play at a far higher standard on a weekly basis - so to actually come out on top, with 1 game still to go, is an absolute credit to all those involved.

Attention now turns to our 𝐌𝐢𝐝𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝟐𝐗𝐈, who's destiny is in our hands, starting this evening. If we win our remaining 3 fixtures, we will be crowned champions of D5, with our blend of youth & experience.

Come on Reapers ❤🏏

On June the 2nd we will be having a charity game v a Louth Cricket Club invitational XI, to help raise funds for our friend, playing member & committee member, Martyn Maidment.

One of the things we love here at Countryside Agricultural Services (CAS) is vintage horticultural machinery and their history. Here’s a little bit of history on one the most popular mowers through history.

**The Remarkable Journey of the Atco Lawnmower**

The legacy of the Atco lawnmower is woven with the pioneering spirit of its founder, Charles H Pugh, whose journey from the ironmongery business to the creation of an iconic British product is a testament to innovation and perseverance.

Born on June 6th, 1840, Charles H Pugh's early years were marked by ambition and a quest for adventure. Despite an initial venture to Canada in pursuit of fortune, he found himself back in Montgomery, Wales, working in his father's ironmongery business by the age of 18. However, it was his tenure at Mellard of Uttoxeter, where he revolutionised cheese-making machinery with his patent, that set the stage for his entrepreneurial career.

By 1867, Charles had married Elizabeth Vernon and acquired his first business, Messrs Brooks of Rotherham, delving into jewellery and ironmongery wholesaling. The move to Birmingham in 1872 marked a significant shift, as he established Whitworth Works, initially focusing on bed manufacturing but swiftly adapting to emerging trends such as bicycle manufacturing.

With the partnership of his son, Charles Vernon, the business expanded rapidly, evolving into the Whitworth Cycle Company by 1891. This transition showcased the family's foresight and adaptability, culminating in the formation of Rudge Whitworth Ltd in 1894.

The outbreak of World War I in 1914 led to the reorientation of factories towards wartime production, demonstrating the company's versatility and contribution to the war effort. Post-war, amidst economic challenges, the company sought new avenues for growth.

The genesis of the Atco lawnmower is shrouded in legend, attributed to Charles Vernon Pugh's desire for a motorised alternative to the horse-drawn mower. This vision led to collaboration with Bull, MD of the Atlas Chain Co, resulting in the creation of the Atco Standard, a 22-inch motor mower, in 1921.

Despite initial setbacks including droughts and strikes, the Atco Standard gained traction, propelled by its innovative design and direct selling approach. Charles Vernon's untimely death in 1921 marked a pivotal moment, with his son, John Jeffery Pugh, assuming leadership and steering the company towards success.

The 1920s witnessed the expansion of the Atco range, with new models catering to varying lawn sizes and terrain. Noteworthy accolades, such as commendations from the RHS Motor Mower trials in 1925, solidified Atco's reputation for quality and performance.

The following decades saw continuous innovation and refinement, with the transition to all-steel frames in 1932 further enhancing durability and longevity. Despite evolving market dynamics, the Atco Standard retained its status as a quintessentially British product, cherished for its resilience and timeless appeal.

Today, the Atco lawnmower stands as a symbol of ingenuity and craftsmanship, embodying a rich heritage of innovation and excellence. Its enduring legacy serves as a testament to the entrepreneurial spirit and enduring legacy of the Pugh family, forever etched in the annals of British manufacturing history.
