Celebration of Steam at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard

[TerriHall]

Hiya Everyone,

I'm Terri Hall and I'm the Events Co-ordinator here at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. I organise an annual Steam Rally called Celebration of Steam. This year the event takes place on Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th May and includes:-

* Steam engines, miniatures, cars and boats!
* Tours of the worlds first completely steam powered factory, the Block Mills
* Real ale, cider and sausage festival
* The landspeed record breaking British Steam Car, with talks from the driver
* Brass bands, morris dancers etc
* All with the backdrop of the Historic Dockyard, HMS Victory, HMS Warrior 1860, the Mary Rose Museum, the National Museum of the Royal Navy and Action Stations.

We are looking for all kinds of Steam "stuff" such as engines, miniatures, machinery and especially any "crazy" steam inventions! If you are interested in coming along, find out more information on our website www.celebrationofsteam.co.uk or contact me Terri Hall in any of the following ways:-
