Default Looking for miniature rallies in the south

I have a 2 inch engine which likes tarmac paths where possible.I've got only one rally lined up so far this season (Hollycombe). Amberley was a favorite but I don't know if they are running this year.
I would like to hear of any rallies suitable for the little engine , which are within say 50 - 60 miles of south :London.
I have asked this question in earlier years, sorry for the repeat query.
Thanks
Paul

Probably a little far for you to travel, but Moors Valley's steam gala, over the weekend of 6th and 7th June is always a very good rally. Plenty of tarmac paths to run around, normally very good fun.

Canterbury club trains and traction event is 2nd weekend of August at the club track in Fordwhich. Got a concrete road up to the quarry where the club track is situated) boundary and then a 1/2 mile of so pub run on the Saturday to the Fordwhich Arms. Lots of little engines come to it. Bit closer in time is Trevithick Day in Dartford (2nd weekend in May). Lots of paths and short grass to play on. Gunpowder Mills miniature weekend in Waltham Abbey the week after has a tarmac perimeter road which is about half a mile. These are just a few of the places which are good for miniatures

PM me if interested.

Thanks for the replies, gents. I will definitely go to Amberley, if they are allowing driving around this year.
