We went on Saturday. There is never a lot of steam there but it was still a good day out with plenty of Foden and ERF trucks and a chance to catch up with Old Fodenians.

It was a good few days, I was 'tied up' with running a shearing machine but did get to have a quick look around. Some folk were disappointed at the low numbers in the Commercial section but I thought that it was a satisfactory turnout.

Pete.

It's Charlie Farzbar's grandson. Charlie worked for the North West Hartlepool's Gas Board and drove A Foden 'Z' type in the 1930's.

We had 96 commercials entered this year, a few didn't attend. We would like to thank all the exhibitors, stall holders & visitors that did attend & hope they all enjoyed themselves.
