To close to St. Albans for me Steve, trouble with working weekends :( marsworth the following Sunday that's a good one day event

I go Steve, it's not a bad rally but it often seams to suffer with bad weather.

Just read we are going to have a heat wave for next 3 months, so should be ok :cool:

I go most years as I live in the next village, its a small scale event (how I like them).

Worth going for the day, maybe not the weekend unless you're showing.

We use to go but don't see it as a rally worth getting out of bed for anymore. Great shame as it use to be one of the highlights of the year

Its more like a tractor rally with a few engine to one side of the field

Any other miniatures on here going to Whitwell rally this weekend?

Allchin 4.5 inch Clara is going and there is at least one showmans expected.

there's normally a dozen or so miniatures from 3 inch to 6 inch and a good road run on Saturday night.

Most sections are ok, nothing special but a reasonable selection, the stationary engine section is normally a bit pathetic but that's par for the coarse around here as there are no real stationary engine enthusiasts around here.

I would say its worth a trip from Bedford for half a day.

i'm not exhibiting but as i live in next village i will steam to rally field and join the road run to the Lyton Arms and then steam home, least i can catch up and chat to a few friends.
