Visiting on the Saturday.

Searching for a gold medal tractor for pictures.

Showman's Peter Pan is booked in

I'll be there Dave, but with the Fowler. Taking the GMT next year I hope. Come to the miniature section and say Hello. :)

Tickets arrived today thank you.


Paul / Mark - My apologies for forgetting the stamp, let me know if I need to reimburse you.

Not long now

Avis will be cleaned and the paint touched up this weekend so she will look her best also matt will clean and polish the ford t I think we could spring a surprise as carrot might bring the Samson to play on .....r

an event not too be missed.

Chris.

Never been Chris and don't think I ever will. I've been told its good though, but I always need a fair few weeks rest after Dorset and to catch up on business.

Keep checking our website http://www.bseps.org.uk and Facebook Page http://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/49367620372/ for up to date information

Not long now, over 130 engines booked in

Was there yesterday, already an amazing amount of engines in, set up progressing well.

We'll be there Thursday morn with the engine. Really looking forward to it.

will either of your engines be there?

My crane engine will be there.
Any further 6" miniatures?

Safe journey everybody!
George.

Sadly we will be over at barleyands for the weekend but were hoping to call in at Old Warden on Friday.

Jim

I will be roading in on Friday, long distance from Shefford

Mind you don't wear it out going all the way from Shefford.

Just reread this and it should say Thursday !!!!!!!!!!! Not Friday

Thought you were turning up late, for a minute there Steve !

Should arrive about 3.00pm on Thursday depending on traffic round St Ives that f$*&ing guided bus thing has made a mess of the bypass.

Will be there for the first time this year. Have booked camping for the weekend.

If any of you see me in my Traction Talk tee-shirt. Please stop me and introduce yourself as I am new to the area.

Looking forward to meeting some TT friends.

I shall be there! The only good thing about Dorset being over is that Bedford is only round the corner! Went up with team Horsham on the weekend and saw quite a few engines on the road! Going to be a good one!

Had me thinking when you put Friday !!

William is there :D

Jamie

Hi, if you see "Avis" on the move just give us a shout and stop us for a chat ...team Avis

According to a member of your family a snail is quicker

I didn't know there was such a thing ! Where d'ya get it from ?

O W is a large site. There is the airfield museum at the far end (well worth a look), the Swiss Gardens in the middle and the rally site itself. Not sure if there'll be any flying this weekend.

People spread out alot and the organisers are normally happy for vehicles to move around (SLOWLY) during open hours.

The evening line-up outside the beer tent with the Showmans engines lit up is awesome. See 6 mins into this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtt7T-W5aHo

Of course fine weather helps ......

As Chairmam of The Durham Mining Museum (www.dmm.org.uk), I have a business contact who has printed mugs, made glas chopping boards and printed tee-shirts for the museum. He has also done one-offs of traction engines on mugs and chopping boards, and did me a TT tee-shirt, using my avatar from TT as the main picture on the back

Did he do you any wellies Roy !!! LOL

Sorry Bruce. Never been asked for a pair!

I've worked with David on here to get some Traction talk ones done. They are available to order from www.s7eam.co.uk and from all TT ones sold money goes straight back to the big pot that helps fund this forum.

Enjoy this weekend we will be at Stoke Prior for our last rally of the season.
Hope the weathers good!

HMS Sultan on route
 

HMS Sultan Super Sentinel is on route we are cheating this time she is on the low loader.

Site
 

Morning anyone that can advise me if you had much rain on site? Want to go to rally but my ride is worried about getting in and out of site as we have had very heavy rain where we are in Buckinghamshire.

Moist!

Excellant grass in carpark , permanent pasture .

Carpark access road is dodgy, cars were sliding a bit :)

Whilst the sun gods didn't want to play resulting in not the brightest OW country fair but it wasn't the weather disaster the BBC & papers predicted. For those who did visit there wast once again plenty to see and enjoy. Thanks to everyone who made it such a splendid event. All the effort and hard work paid off. Once again many thanks. Here's to next year.

Thanks to all the committee and helpers for making another successful event. Thoroughly enjoyed enjoyed the event again this year having spent the weekend camping.

Thanks once more

Arthur
