New Steam Rally in Cornwall.
 

Cornish engine owners and steam enthusiasts will already be aware of this, but I know that there will be others visiting the South West who will be pleased to have the opportunity of a very early steam fix.

The first St. Dennis Steam and Vintage Rally will take place over the Easter weekend, April 4th and 5th. The venue is St. Dennis, in the heart of 'clay country' about 2 miles off the A30 close to the turn-off for Newquay. Sat Nav PL26 8DT.

The rally will feature full-size and minitature steam, tractors, vintage cars and motorcycles and stationary engines. Entry forms can be obtained from Ian Lobb on 01726 822275 or 07959 6578453. Alternatively visit 'St. Dennis Steam and Vintage Rally' on Facebook.

The rally will be opened by Martin Oliver, who will be on-site all weekend doing some public talks and Q and A sessions.

At a time when we hear of the demise of several established rallys, I hope that the steam community will support this new event.

Just so happens - Devster, Essex and myself will be in that neck of the woods so a visit on Sunday is most likely.

Anyone fancy a pint?

We will down at Easter so will pay a visit.

Good to hear of a fresh rally.

Well done Stef. Though I wont be ready I dont think.

We shall be there and I personally would like to wish the rally organisers every success for two reasons. Firstly, having the confidence to present a new venue but, above all else, having the foresight to hold the rally over the Easter period instead of during the main Devon and Cornwall rally season which basically runs throughout July and August. It will be good to have a early season rally for a change.

Shame I won't be back from travelling to get to this... Next year!

Just received my copy of Old Glory yesterday (Saturday) and in the Events Guide on page 11 there is an entry for this rally. personally, as I said before I am looking forward to it and I will spread the word.

U got a lot to do then Jim? when you hoping to be out be good to see you.

Good look Stefan. Its also in the guide that came with the latest Vintage Spirit too, good look to the organisers but unfortunately I cant get to Cornwall for that weekend, will be down there in July though.

Thanks Brian,

Stef.
