60th Cornish Steam & Country Fair - WESES

[International Steam]

I know nothing except it has "A. Ransome & Co. Ltd, Newark & London" on the base. It's difficult to read on my picture as it's half covered by grass. Check them out here http://www.gracesguide.co.uk/A._Ransome_and_Co

I love that saw..!

It rather puts my Witte drag-saw to shame though...

All the engine owners and crews there all had big smiles on there faces all weekend, and those local engine owners who didn't bring them missed out on a great time.

Thanks for the positive comments, the WESES team got it together well this year and the results were there for all to see. The good weather was a bonus. Those who stayed away missed a cracking weekend. Thanks to all of you who took part to make the event what it was.

Absolutely right, Charlie. A great rally, and so far as I am concerned, I will always be grateful for the support and help I received from the committee and WESES members. Thank you to all!

Steve, thats a good question

For some, like this event, we are trying to put on a nice relaxed enjoyable event where exhibitors can pretty much do as they like

It's now one where you don't have to see the minority going out with loads of bags of coal while you go home with none, that in itself has improved things immensely. Likewise you won't go short of coal if you should happen to enjoy using your engine towing trailers etc

We also have the water situation well sorted, unlike some

Admittedly I don't have the funds to cover all expenses as some would like. You just wouldn't believe what some people expect these days, e.g. like paying for their days off work, all transport costs etc, the list goes on

I know some of my exhibitors this year subsidised their transport for which I am grateful. From the feedback I have received they are glad they came

I guess if anyone want's to make a profit from an event, this wouldn't be the best one to go to

I'm also very grateful for all the positive comments about the event posted above, I think it speaks for itself and It shows we are heading in the right direction for the majority

A very big thank you to everyone who came along and supported us

Steve, no, i didn't get the wrong end, but it would be great if you could come along one year and make your own mind up
