Little Leigh Steam Party
 

Liitle Leigh Steam Party 6 & 7 October at the Leigh Arms Pub, Little Leigh, Cheshire (by the side of the Acton Swing Bridge)

Do we know who will turn up? Always a great day out and usually the sun shines.

Some good weather I hope!! and a few of the usual suspects

I'll be there, all being well

Spoke to the landlady at The Leigh arms and she is more than happy to have the Appalachian Dancers, so they will do 2 x 20 minute spots on sunday, think you will enjoy.

I hope to be there, not with the Robey, but with something....

Think we might trundle over with roller....

We are planning to be there. Probably road over Saturday.

sounds good will be there, not too sure yet if we are taking one or both engines.

We hope to be there Sunday at least.

Seems quiet on the Leigh Arms front, anyone else going? Last year was a great weekend, the weather was warm and the beer cold and the company... okay was good also well worth a visit; this year looks the same.

Has anyone booked good weather for the wekend? we have use of the field opposite the pub for parking and camping, those planning on coming by narrow boat should contact British Waterways to check on the canal, as it burst it's banks near Little Leigh and at Middlewich.

Is the field grass or stubble or mud?? ;)

Thanks

Tony

Hoping to be there, :-)

Back from North Wales tomorrow. Have to start baking as I have expectations to fulfil. Hope to attend both days.

Now I know Dave is baking I will also be there both days and yes Dave expectations are high. :) Look forward to seeing you

we are there already

I believe the field is stubble as it was cut recently, it might be a bit sticky as we have rain forcast for Friday.

Engine roaded over today to within a stones throw of the Leigh Arms. Did about 16 miles on my own so quite pleased with that although I'm not sure if my back agrees! A pot hole/ burst water main provided the perfect place to take on water!

Spent this morning with a tame mechanic going over the buggy's transport; all OK.
Loaded the buggy into it for the first time this afternoon. It's a tight fit but it went in with a little air out of the tyres.
At the Leigh Arms Saturday and Sunday.
Weather forecast is good so looking forward to it.:D

Johnathan, What a conundrum - The caption on the thumbnail is 'Foden C Type', the truck has Leyland and Daf and Foden badges and livery. Change the caption to 'PACCAR Europe' and there you will have it.

See you at the weekend for an explanation. ;)

You bought that truck off a bloke who has/had a half sized waggon - I used to work for him in Heversham!

Baking done . . . . Four 1lb fruit loaves, four dozen 'Old Fashioned' ginger biscuits and three dozen 'Rocky Road' cakes.

Will that be enough Tony?

Yes David thanks.

That will be fine for me!!!

A brilliant weekend with sunshine, good company, playing with steam engines and eating some of davidje's cakes.
Thanks to Clive, Geoff and the staff at the Leigh Arms for making it all happen.
