Gloucestershire Steam Extravaganza 2010

Loads to see, as always, a new layout and hundreds of of TT members! A selection from me:

Then the rain came.

Well done to the organisers and thank you to everybody who has attended with exhibits.

A cracking event again.

A superb collection of exhibits - with the Vulcan being the icing on my cake.

The one tiny thing that really impressed us most was being offered a wrist band for our eldest to put a mobile number on - such a simple idea but one we had not seen at a rally before.

Despite the rain we really enjoyed it (coats, trousers etc still drying now!). Great to catch up with a lot of people too

Looking forward to next year.

Ace! So many nice engines. Looks like a brilliant do. The little T3 in Fowler brown looks really good.

.

That is a cracking idea!
Cheers Carl.

We have been doing this for several years now, and we are pleased to say it works extremely well and cuts down any stressful periods during 'incidents' for parents and organisors alike.

A superb weekend.

Thanks to Matt and Rachel for their efforts.

Thanks should also go to Sawman for his hospitality, to Ted for cheffing lunches for 20, to Sarah for making Chilli for 20 odd and to the various providers of beer!

Good company and a brilliant rally.

Great to see the youngsters being allowed to get hands on.

Thanks to all.
