I wish that I had known about this a bit earlier as I will not be able to attend as I have made other arrangements for the weekend.

it's been quiet strange really as we had been asked to attend a while back (almost to far back) and only in the last 8 weeks did we fully see it going ahead after popping down there for a sight visit for to see which parts of the ground we will be driving round as our engines are on the smaller side they are best suited for the event although I believe there is some bigger engines expected.
Locally they have had large advertising boards out but I've not seen any press coverage and thought best to put it on here. We really hope it goes well and could become a regular event.
I don't think/now if any of the home engines will be taken out??? but as it is such a nice weekend if there was a time to do it now would be a good choice.
I'll be heading down later and report back tonight but we hope to be taking our Tasker out tonight on a run to one of the pubs in the locality of Bicton although I couldn't say which route we'll be taking yet.....( I reckon a run through Budleigh Salterton would be nice )
