The thing about Steam Fair FM is that it was just about GDSF. The music was really cheesy, but, if you were sat in the queue waiting to get on or off site, you knew what was happening. If you were in your caravan waiting for the rain to stop, you knew what was happening. Integral part of the whole event. Lets hope Mr Oliver & Co can get it sorted.

Joe Black, you're just a grumpy wotzit :-)

Listening to the weather reports on access in to Dorset, amount of mud, traffic jams etc is great (via the net while at home).
If it hadn't been for steam fm last year I certainly wouldn't have bothered attending after watching the BBC weather reports, AND I had a great time.

Yes it's cheesy, yes it plays loads of old hits but if it's not your cup of tea, then listen to something else or put a tape on.

I for one will certainly miss it and actually look forward to it each year, it puts me in the mood.

I listened to it when not at the show, it is a pity it will not be there, does anybody know what sort of finance would need to be raised to have it at the show this years?

What's a tape? seriously though, if cost is the problem, I'm sure there are some "non steam" and in fact "non steam fair attractions" that they could do without. Monster trucks spring to mind. There, I've said it.

And it looks like Steam Fair FM is safe again.

Thanks to NTET & GDSF for supporting it, and everyone who has commented everywhere.
