We are hoping to attend with Pedler and Angelina, we had a really great weekend in 2011 and look forward to a good one this year. :D

Lets hope that it stops raining this year!!!! Mind you you could hold it in April as there will be another drought and a hosepipe ban again.

Will be there with Burrell SCC 'Dauntless'

Sounds like a good day out i will put it on the list of rallys to visit in 2013

Might be Iight on full size engines

I have sent back my invite and will be taking Wallis 7370 Fair Rosamund.:D
We will be roading over from Cirencester on the Friday.
Sorry in advance if you get caught behind the engine, trailer, living van and Landrover.:o

See you all there.

That should make three Wallis Expansion Engines attending plus one miniature expansion. Looking forward to it. Perhaps we can get all the Wallis' together for a photograph?

And all engines with early preservation history in the local area.

Is anyone roading to Woodcote on FridayI know two are coming from Prestwood! And Vince mentioned he was planning on roading from Cirencester! Anyone else?

I attended the 1965 show with my Wallis traction engine no 7685, then called" Nellie". We roaded her from
the Woburn Abbey rally. This was only the second rally I had done with her.
She stood outside without a sheet for 13 years, and we only had paint on the boiler lagging sheets and new smoke box then, the rest was red rust!!.

Is "Renown" going?

Unfortunately Pedler will not be able to attend this year largely owing to the costs involved in transport. There has also been a bereavement and illness among the crew's families so we have reluctantly had to decline the invitation. Hope the weekend is a successful one, we are disappointed not to be coming. :(

Our little Wallis will be attending its first rally north of the Thames.Already loaded and waiting to go,Looks like being another hot one,petty anyone in a Sentinel,roasted cab crew.

The Rally field is nearly setup, and the first engine arrived last night. Looking forward to seeing everyone, looks like it is going to be a hot weekend!
