Anyone go? It was a fantastic day on the Saturday with the sun shining and a great atmosphere. I must have given over 100 children a ride on the 3" Aveling. Well done Colin Wheeler and team for such a nice day and given it was free entry and relied on sponsorship it was marvellous. Even met another traction talker (toolbagted)
