Fawley Hill
 

Sir William & Lady Judy Mcalpine are to hold a Steam & Vintage weekend on the 18th and 19th May 2013. This will be held on the Fawley Hill Estate. Lady Judy has asked me to pass on this information to anyone who may be interested in exhibiting. Attached (Hopefully to this text) are some details and an email address for exhibitors to make contact with the Estate and lodge your interest in attending the event. Attachment 6857

H'mm, I'm sure it will be a good event, but at £100 for a ticket for Sat I suspect the spectators will be a select bunch.

Ian. I do not no if the entrance fee quoted on the web-site is correct or not. Lady Mcalpine emailed me that the web-site had not been properly finished as yet. This is why I only posted the attachment she sent me in (word) and not the web-site, for anyone intertested in exhibiting. Hopefully I will know more in the next couple of weeks. Whatever the price I presume it will be a first come first served basis for Joe Public, with probably a limited amount of tickets available. IMO with it being a one off, it would be nice to attend either as an exhibitor or Joe Public.

Well if it is £100 a ticket i wont be going and i was looking forward to it. O to be rich and the selected few!!!!

Agreed!

Lady McAlpine has asked me to point out that the event ticket prices are NOT £100 - this is an inaccuracy on their web site and correct admission prices will be on the published in the new year when they have decided upon them.

Sounds like it could be really good, if it had the atmosphere of the Beaulieu rallies?

Thanks Collin for the contact details I've been in contact and we are looking forward to taking AVIS back to her old home for the weekend

Looking forward to it, taking the Foden and a big heap of black rock's

Who else is going next weekend! Im going Sunday, from what ive heard there will be quite a lot of engines!

I'm hoping to! Not sure which day yet though... Just hope the weather comes dry again!

at the moment there are forty eight engine going, some of which are some distance away if all goes to plan it will be quite an event

sound great, i am taking my 4" foster once it has had another smokebox repaint. looking forward to it.

I am caravanning in the area for a few days, and am planning to go on the Saturday, looks like a good event if all goes to plan.

Castle Firebrick will be there.

We're setting off to that 'North Island' tomorrow. Looks like it's shaping up for a really good show.

It's our first outing of the year, hope the engine behaves itself and the rain stays away.

30 tonnes of welsh on route tonight will be a good weekend hope it's not to wet

Here are some that may persuade you to come along :

Renown plus gallopers and big wheel
Quo Vadis
Earl Beatty
Prospector
The Badger
plus traction engines, wagons, rollers.

There are visiting railway locos from the Festiniog, Romney Hythe and Dymchurch.
This event will be bigger than Sir Williams 70th Birthday party.

Looking forward to going on Sat! Wish we where taking the roller!

Went over and followed a couple of engines to Fawley Hill, was a great day! The site is shaping up very well, lots of exibits on site! I heard the engines numbers have reached over 50 now! Lets hope the event gets the weather it deserves! Thanks for the tip of Dan !

Steaming in Friday
 

Will be steaming to Fawley on Friday with Aveling Semper Fidelis and Aveling Loretta from Dunsden Green at via Henley on Thames early afternoon

I am also steaming over from white waltham with Wallis and Steevens Wildfire on Friday afternoon .

I would like to thank everyone who organised a great weekend at Fawley Hill , a brilliant rally as they were 20 years ago , relaxed but safe and lots to see and do , heres hoping for another one !

Wot he said!

(As in Here Here!!)

I agree with Roger. Had a grand time, very relaxed and easy going, enjoyed it a lot. Plenty to see and do without the yellow top brigade, it shows you can have a safe event without them.

Jut had a nice email from Lady McAlpine thanking us for coming and to say due to overwhelming support and encouragement they have decided to run the vintage weekend again next year ,Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th May 2014 . www.fawleyhill.co.uk
