Duncombe Park Steam Rally, 7th & 8th July Helmsley Nth Yorkshire

[notyalc]

Know what you mean.....

[Tractor lad]

Just been speaking with a committee member who has confirmed that show field is looking good and the show is definitely on this weekend 7th & 8th July.
What’s so good about Duncombe Park is that it has side roads around the show field so the heavy boys (engines & lorries) can park on this.

Went yesterday and ground was muddy, but not as chewed up as expected. Only things round the ring yesterday were the tractors and the cars. We left at 4pm and it had dried out considerablly. The majority of the steamers are been kept on the permiter road, so that they can still move around etc. Car park was holding up well.
