It's now just two weeks to our Annual Rally at Milton Keynes Museum on 14/15 May. It's 21 years since our very first event at the venue and there'll be lots to see and do as usual. This year we have a special theme of mowers with a bird or animal name, so expect to see lots of Lions, Colts, Swallows and Hawks! The museum is open from 11am on each day with a special late closing on the Saturday evening as part of national "Night at the Museum" event.

Figures for admissions to UK hospital accident and emergency departments for 2010 show that mowing the lawn is slightly safer than working in a kitchen. The latest figures, which provide details for the year ending April 2010, show that 460 people required hospital treatment after using a powered lawn mower while 790 were injured by "hot household appliances" (including ovens) during the same period. That's a great comfort for those collectors and enthusiasts who prefer to spend their Sunday mornings in the shed or garden rather than the kitchen...
