Tinkers Park Rally takes place this weekend - 30th/31st May at Hadlow Down just short of the eastern end of the A272. Around 50 road engines are expected plus one on the railway and a steam launch so will be one of the few events where you can see three modes of steam transport - anyone got a steam plane to make it four!

We're attending for the first time. Roading down early Saturday morning. Still trying to work out the fastest / flatest route from Capel.

Weather report is good for the whole weekend.

Really looking forward to it.

I'm sure I'll see a few of you there.

roaded up there on monday from laughton with Ellen, lovely run apart from the thunder, lightning & rain ! ! Several engines already on site, many more roading in tomorrow, should be a cracking weekend if the weather holds, still good if it doesn't ! ! Cheers, Ian

Brilliant event.

Thoroughly enjoyed it. Brilliant weather. Plenty of people there. Just one brilliant event.
Good food and drink, as usual, although there must have been one hell of a party Saturday night as beer tent did not open till 11.30 instead of normal 11. Said they had to recover. Can't blame them. Roll on next year.
