by all accounts, will be rather less there this year, a lot of people who i talk to say they aint going this year, and i know a few more who say they will give it one more year then see again. i gather that theres also a air of distrust between some of the engine owners and the main man. i think the 40th year was prob the best one ive been to in the last few years. also seams to be quite a few weddings on that weekend lol

i mean nothing more than several regulars (not just steam) aint going this year for verius reasons. Thats between them and the show organisers, and the air of distrust with them in particular is for them to sort out. Theres also a lot of people attending weddings and parties this weekend, so cant attend for that reason. There seams to be far too many people getting married this weekend lol.

id take you umbrella (or get a canopy on that ransomes of yours) forcast says saturday will be the best day, but atm its looking wet (every where

)

Is this sort of thing really required? On a thread where the idea is to find out whose going, rather than blast about "the air of distrust"! I am sure that other events all over the country have similar problems for the same reasons! Yet again Mr Brett, it appears that you harbour someone else's grudge. Or is it a case of they won't invite you?
I'm well aware of what has gone off at that show in the past and well that's the past and there still going so I say good luck to them and hope they have a successful weekend. Just a shame we can't attend anymore, otherwise we'd go again.
