Today was spent getting the ground fit to drive on following a heavy downpour at 6am, hopefully tomorrow & Sunday will be fine & will be open to the public.

Check the website http://www.torbaysteamfair.com for updates

Today has also been cancelled, there will be an update on the http://www.torbaysteamfair.com website at 6pm tonight to see whether tomorrow will be on.

We currently have blue sky over Torbay so hopefully the rally will be able to go ahead tomorrow

Very sorry to hear this, you have my sympathy as a club, having been the victims of bad weather ourselves.

Just got home and cleaned after a wet rally at torbay. What a shame, been there since tuesday, looked like a promising rally, but as the week went on bad rain kicked in . Friday canceled, but still looking hopeful for saturday.....saturday canceled as the weather wasnt kind at all! But we did mange to get all the showmans to the beer tent for the evening entertainment,( the glaidator,king of the belgiums, white rose of york, may queen, princess victoria and ourselves princess royal) wot a good night we had, sunday canceled, the big tractors were hard at work pulling us all out onto the road. A big thanks to all involved......... See you all next year,
