I go Steve, it's not a bad rally but it often seams to suffer with bad weather.

Just read we are going to have a heat wave for next 3 months, so should be ok

I go most years as I live in the next village, its a small scale event (how I like them).

Worth going for the day, maybe not the weekend unless you're showing.

We use to go but don't see it as a rally worth getting out of bed for anymore. Great shame as it use to be one of the highlights of the year

Its more like a tractor rally with a few engine to one side of the field

there's normally a dozen or so miniatures from 3 inch to 6 inch and a good road run on Saturday night.

Most sections are ok, nothing special but a reasonable selection, the stationary engine section is normally a bit pathetic but that's par for the coarse around here as there are no real stationary engine enthusiasts around here.

I would say its worth a trip from Bedford for half a day.
