A medium sized show, under ten engines, maybe 20 or more models. Decent road run into the town on Saturday night. Generally a good vibe, and for models plenty of space to roam. Good selection of stalls and other exhibits.

The downside for me was a crap beer tent, which isn't the end of the world really.

The major issue with the event is that they welcome Morris Dancers.

Would generally agree with the above, good bunch of people in the miniature line up. We use it as a stop off for our week at Bressingham. Yes rampaging Morris dancers were an issue.

I think there should've been more morris dancers there. In fact I believe the world itself needs more morris dancers. The morris dancers that were at March rally were the finest I have ever seen. Truly sublime in the their hanky-waving and stick clashing. Ooh, and those heavenly leg bells! Truly the sweetest metallic serenade.
Campaign for more morris dancers!

Alas, for there are some that cannot be saved.
