Default Bressingham 2011

Just got back from Bressingham Steam in Miniature rally, a great weekend and cosy little rally with some excellent models. Weather was predictable on Saturday (wet) morning but the evening came good, Sunday was good all day bordering on hot

Plenty of time spent yakking and driving around and plenty of spectators on the Sunday asking questions and taking photos.

There was something odd about wandering around a closed attraction at night on the way to the loo! very odd indeed. Saturday night entertainment was first class as was the fish and chips this was probably the best rally I have attended so far, definately the most relaxed and friendly

I would like to thank Norman for his work in organising such a friendly rally and also Keith Foskett for recommending I attend

Didn't get a chance to say goodbye Keith, you were out and about somewhere when we left

Dave

Hi Dave
Glad you had a good time as you say nice relaxing weekend. You can drive around as much as you like. You also have the added entertainment with all the model aircraft flying around.Some very accomplished fliers there too.
Thanks to Norman for an excellent rally
Keith

Hi Dave/Keith
Yes it was a good rally again . Not so many models there this year though, clashed with another show I think.
May see you there next year?

Dave (& all who attended)
This was our third year at the rally and it's good to have such a friendly rally in a relaxed environment. No beer tent, no loud music, no rip-off trade stalls, just a group of like-minded people having fun.
Norman does a great job organising - not only the rally but the Saturday night 'entertainment': Galloper rides, fish & chips, free beer! raffle etc. & Bressingham gives free train rides as well. Can't be many other rallys like that.
See you all again next year
Dave
