I have 41 steamers entered and this year sees a first for masham with the howard bros attending with engine and gallopers.

You must have had the wrong address, havent seen any of your letters, sorry. I do not book the fairground equipment and did not book Screetons myself, so perhaps you should check your facts. I have been retired for 4 years and only stepped in to keep the show alive for the 45th, so could'nt have booked you anyway.

Eeehh I remember early 80's when we had to visit without an engine 'cos Dad had Pandora in bits and the Wagons were all gone (although Ian was looking after Tom Varley's DG6P at the time). We had to camp at top o't hill and it took 2 cars to tow one caravan to t' top and was still a struggle on the damp grass! 6 of us kids all had to sit in the back of Harold Bell's Triumph 2000 to try to increase grip! Fantastic view of the rally once up there though! Happy days!!!

Looking forward to Saturday - rain or shine!

The field is filling up nicely. We put the roller and clutter in tonight and there were quite a few more engines arriving.
The ground conditions are fine. A good move by the organisers not having the weekend campers in the main field this year, it should stop things getting cut up too badly.
Its going to be a good weekend.
