Been up to the site tonight, a few engines up there already. Apparently around 60 booked in

will be there friday morning with the "T"

heard Arthur will be there with Lion which will be nice to see.

[tomtom]

Always nice to see lion but hes had nicer engines in the past ��

i reckon Arthur sold the 2 best engines he ounce owned but then we are both biassed aren't we Tom

Out of interest, as member of joe public and a regular visitor to this rally in recent years I have to ask why have Steam parades been stopped in the main arena?

[hedge]

don't know the correct answer but i suspect it is because the organizers run a Dorset style system so the engines are driving around fairly freely and those which go around the play pen are then commentated on. personally i prefer this way as the public can see steam moving around all day.

like i say don't know if that's the real reason but that's how i read the situation.

Be nice if the gates were open at 9 AM , I will be travelling down from Leeds for the day and the extra hour would be great.

Yes Dave, it would be nice if the gates were open at 9 AM, I'm travelling from Ashton - in Makerfield (Wigan)
for the day, but all the same I will be on the car park early doors Saturday.
