Meet the Team

A Message from Our Founder!

I was very excited to have been asked to allow a show on Good Mondays Farm in 2021.

Being involved from the start and looking at how the whole family would like to be accommodated, we have changed the show towards a festival and country show while still having the vintage side. With this came a new name: Dauntsey Festival of Transport and Country Show!

Most people in the vintage tractor world know of us! The Potter family have always been involved with vintage machinery but mainly tractors. Duke was a hoarder and collected for many years, learned from his father Pop, so we have a few rare ones, which you will see at the show, and even drive if you bid in our silent auction.

Plums Fund Ltd was my chosen charity over the years due to Fred my husband loosing his life to pancreatic cancer, it’s mostly diagnosed last and always too late! I’m hugely proud that Phil Potter now runs the family farm along with Alex his lovely wife, now with young Fred the next generation who was born in March (2024) will hopefully one day take the reins up.

A huge thank you to all our committee for their time spent throughout the years, leading up to, during the show, packing down and for putting up with all the meetings, challenges and ! Thank you for all the helpers, volunteers, and stewards, without you we wouldn’t have this show!

A Message from Our Chair!

My journey with the Dauntsey Festival of Transport began several years ago as a volunteer with the dog show, then a sponsor.More recently, I’ve proudly served as Vice Chair and now Chair. It’s been wonderful to see our show grow year after year, with an expanding team and new members bringing fantastic ideas and fresh energy.

Working closely with our founder, Ali Potter, I’m passionate about driving the show forward, celebrating our community, honouring our roots, and introducing exciting new features that make each event even more special.

As a veteran myself, married to a veteran, and a proud holder of the Silver Defence ERS Award, I’ve chosen Help for Heroes as my charity focus. Their support for the Armed Forces community, including help that both my family and I have personally received, is incredible. With so many strong local military links across our region and within our show, it’s a cause that truly reflects who we are and what we stand for.

Finally, I’d like to say a heartfelt thank you to our amazing committee, dedicated volunteers, loyal exhibitors, traders, crafters, and all our visitors, past and future, for your continued support. You’re the reason this show thrives, and together, we’ll keep making it something truly special for our community.
