Pickering Traction Engine Rally 2012

2nd 3rd 4th 5th August
This is going to be the best steam rally this summer with lots of new exhibits which have never been seen before
organisers are making it a rally to remember dont miss it

Nikey fest?

think thats spelt wrong !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I highly doubt that. In fact I wouldn't even call it the best rally thats on that weekend. I much prefer the relaxed atmosphere at Cromford. And South Cerney is also meant to be an excellent rally that gets a lot more steam than Pickering.


Pickering isn't all its made out to be. When it comes to big rallies, give me Lincoln & Welland any day, both are much better rallies, with a much better layout & site and none of the trouble that Pickering gets. They both also has the advantage of been run by a small club to raise money for chairty, as opposed to somebody out to make themselves some money.

But will it be remembered for the right reasons?
So of us have bad memories of not too long ago. Lots of exhibits that have not been seen at Pickering before perhaps, but then again the are lots of exhibits that will not be going this year..........

Unlikely to be the best rally of the year, unless you are only going to it and no others.

Think i may have a look at cromford this year never been but most certainly wont be goin to pickeyring

Cromfords a good rally, went last year for 1st time.

Chris.

thanks for the kind words re cromford good to see our work on the organising isnt invaine

Are but do we bring an engine or a boat that is the problem with this weather .;)

Got Pickering passes today,can't go on site till the Wednesday,think it's going to be a bit busy getting on site

Some industrial strength bitching about Pickering.
Now we have some decent rally weather just enjoy the rest of the summer, it finishes in a week or so.:D

Well it should just about even out the Industrial strength bull s**t that certain organisers spue about the event every year.

been there, last time 16 years enough was enough not going the 80 miles for pikering again.

pickering steam
 

does any one know if the music festival is on at pickering as well as the steam love going friday for the steam and the bands

Pickering 2012.
 

their are no details on web site about that is on at Pickering this year.
I went every year for at least 10 years with caravan all ways had a good time.
Never had any trouble always thought it was good value for money.
Did not have the time or cash to travel further from Durham.

There is a music festival on this weekend on the site (the summer of Love Festival) this could explain why they arent letting people on site till Wednesday due to preparing the site???

no not that one over the steam weeking friday and saturday theys bands on but ive seen no news this year

can campervans pay on the day regards twistpin

Type Pickering traction engine rally 2012 in search engine for details.

thanks steamhead21, regards twistpin.

May have a ride over on the monday with the family

Wish it didn't clash with The Gloucester Extravaganza where we will be. Pickering is so close to home it is a pity to miss it. Hope my old pal Simon Boak is still involved.
