This thread was getting far too near to the bottom of the list, so i'm posting to hopefully shove it back to the top again to gain publicity! Thought i'd best be honest.
We really hope this rally is going to be successful, so the more publicity we can get the better! Cheeky I know. (hope this idea works now!)

We're wanting to take down Sentinel tractor (Queen Mary) and trailer. Have posted off details and now waiting for confirmation. We very much hope this rally is a success, Parham is no longer, likewise Redhill.

Confirmation should be in the post this week, passes were being sorted at the weekend, do let the organisers know if you haven't heard anything soon though. As for which engines are coming there were about 15 at last count definitly booked in but we all know that this will all change come the big weekend. Keep your eyes posted on the website for further info.

The Mover 17th June 2008 08:17 AM

30 Engines!! Great stuff, we're taking Queen Mary down, looking forward to the run down the Dual Carrigeway. I am sure this Rally is going to be a huge success, will continue to pray to the Sun God in the meantime...:)

dollybird 17th June 2008 09:20 PM

And 15 models. And a steam car. I could go on but then I'd be giving all the inside info away! Glad someone else is praying to the Sun God, I hope he/she is listening!!

Snappy 20th June 2008 08:37 AM

Becky, It'll look even better once all the nice shiny exhibits are on it, gleaming in the sunlight!! I'll be expecting to see Simon up bright and early polishing the Fowler in the early morning sun...!

Steam Lady 25th June 2008 07:42 PM
