Yes, it is, Edd, and the fiftieth anniversary of the Somerset Traction Engine Club, which began in 1959 when the members of the 'Taunton Traction Engine Rally Committee' renamed themselves as the Somerset Traction Engine Club..... And no, I wasn't on that committee, though I think I may have done 25 years this year!

I see my roller is on your New Year run and my Fastrac that pulls it. The picture makes the fastrac look so big against the other tractors!!!
See you there.

Glad you like the pics Mike. There were so many entries for the New Years Day road-run it was hard to be selective for the website!

Thanks for this, Dawn - needless to say the new site was not up and running when I posted in December!

Yes indeed - and as posted elsewhere, on Thursday the coal for the rally will be taken over from Jerry Darch's premises in Yeovil to the rally site by Sentinel 3899 and Foden 13752 on Thursday July 16th.

45 full size engines on the books - including, for the first time for many year's the Club Vice President's Burrell Perseverance the Second. First timers are Les Searle's Burrell Crane engine His Majesty (so with Old Tim, two cranes), Chris Griffith's Clayton, The Gaffer, Vince Hawkins's Wallis Fair Rosamund, Chris Smith's Marshall Roller Toby, Mike White's ex-Switzerland Aveling roller 5995, Richard Newman's Aveling roller 5623 (newly restored) etc etc. Returning are Sarah Marsh's Gold Medal Harry, Tony Beeching's Marshall Countess (restoration almost complete), Andy Williams's Garrett The Chough, Four Fowler ploughing engines in action.

Good road run on Friday - two routes around the levels.

Come and visit the best and longest established rally in Somerset bar none- 54 years and still going strong!

Note that the council in their infinite wisdom have closed the A372 road from Othery to Langport....
