Screetons gallopers are built up in the main field.
There are the usual dodgems on the main fair (owners name escapes me at the moment-sorry) and Glenn Millers paratrooper. Thats it for big rides this year as unfortunately Terry Atha couldnt make it with his waltzer. There is also Billy Smith with his joint and ducks, John Henry Caris and Mr Hirst amongst others on the main fair. Barry Aisbett has his toyset next to the gallopers.
I have started building my shooting gallery up and I think we will put the big striker up as well.

just a quick note to say the howards will be going this year with the engine ( renown ) but not the gallopers cheers

re howards gallopers
 

looks like i got my facts right as howards have not attendd with there gallopers like i stated in previous thread

masham
 

i have checked my facts and i was right howards are not there with the gallopers as i mentioned in previous post maybee you should check your correspondance in case you did not see any of my 4 stamped adressed letter i sent

Masham steam rally
 

It was still a great weekend even if howards didnt bring their gallopers and screetons did with the fantastic renown stood next to them they looked a beatiful sight thanks also to the dedicated and loyal team of masham steam rally under the guidence of mrs grainger we had a very succesful weekend :)

You may well have sent 4 stamped adresses envelopes to me but I have not received them, and that is a fact. Do you have copies and dates please? We did indeed have Screetons Galopers alongside 'Renown', and as it was felt that the show would not stand two sets, sensible negotiations took place to reach a suitable compromise, as they know each other very well. They were equally very much enjoyed by us and our visitors.

had a gr8 time sat & sun, the best part was the ''road run'' bottom gear going up the hill, lots of cheering along the way, & best of all a nice pint of black sheep in the square & a good chinwag- superb!!

Bottom gear?

Had a very enjoyable weekend. There was a great atmasphere throughout.
One particular highlight was watching Keith Collins about to load Pandora. It involved the telephone and asking for instructions on how to load the engine as he had never done it before. The couple of onlookers seemed to be taking it in.
It was great to see all of the showmans engines lit up next to the gallopers and stage show on the saturday night.
Roll on next year !!

road run!!
 

re-bottom gear, well I have a choice of two, bottom or top, so with a trailer full of coal & water plus passenger, having not done the road run at masham before[my son did it last year with me on the back] I decided on bottom gear [or low speed if you like] just so I didn't end up with egg on me mush if I didn't make it to the top!!
