If all goes to plan, there "SHOULD" be the Boer War Fowler in finished form and the ex Whitby Fowler roller of Ian Craggs amongst those attending - usual disclaimer about availability and low loaders not being able to start etc!

I consider it very short-sighted of the organisers to put on an event such as this on the same weekend as the biggest annual political demonstration in Europe just 10 miles away. Apart from the war years, The Durham Miners Gala has been an annual event since 1871 and is now a great day out for all the family with a showground, political speeches, marching brass, military and pipe bands. I would dearly like to support my local event but cannot when it clashes with a huge event in my home town where I am actively involved with the organisation.
I hope you who are going have a great weekend. Sorry to miss it yet again.

Apologies Roy, not short sighted at all - timed so it didn't clash with Duncombe Park the previous weekend and Masham the following one, also coincides with a tractor rally at Locomotion on Sunday. One of the problems, there are always more events than one can get to!

I know which I'd rather go to to be honest Roy. There's two days in a weekend if punters go to both and there's not enough weekends in the year to avoid other events.

Were it still happening,this would have been the weekend for the Chester le Street rally when John Bainbridge was organiser. Looking out of the window now it would not have been much fun......

Roy, what do you demonstrate at this event? Mining tackle perhaps?
