Most of the questions have been asked. I thank the delegates for their presentations and acknowledge their work. We have a vintage club in Nobber and much of the money raised throughout the year goes to local communities and local charities. However, road safety is an issue. Unfortunately, last year a young girl died during a vintage tractor run in my county. I appreciate this is separate from the associations' remit, but is there any chance there could be abuse in the system, not by members of the associations but by people outside their membership? Have the delegates come across this? I am supportive of their objectives and agree with Deputy Timmy Dooley's proposal.
