Looking forward to going. As long as i get my boiler tests back in time! Had them both done on the same day so sweating on the post each day

I think it's the rain we will have to worry about, not your boiler paperwork !

Pop into the site today, very wet with large puddle in one area but the forcast for the rest of the week is dry and some warm days and the site is apparently free draining and the chap i was talking to on sunday didn't seem to concerned for the week end - lets hope he's right

Time you started to think of getting rid of the roller and bought a steam launch, with the way the summers are going you would be the only one moving on the rally fields!!!

Very true, but you are not the first to say that.

Paid a brief visit today, well worth going, took a couple of pics, variety of engines and some nice looking roller, should be a good day tomorrow, something for everyone including working horses. Not sure what they were working at as they were having a rest when I saw them.
Hope to go back tomorrow

Got back from the show and put the Allchin to bed, sorry just could not find the time to take any photos. Had a great weekend with Brian, Tim and Kev. with a very enjoyable road run to the Lytton Arms Old Knebworth on Staurday evening. Just what rallying should be about. well done to the ordanizers for a good old fashoned rally. In the calendar for next year.
