Pickering Traction Engine Rally 2015
 

Are their two rallys this year ??
http://www.pickeringsteam.com/
Getting confusing now ??

All I know is one site has full details and the other TO BE ANNOUNCED SOON ??? Whats that all about then.
Just seen a sign for Herrington Park Show though today on a big sign so I know who I have my money on.

I last went in 1997 but when I got there the price it was advertised at had changed upwards ! I sent a letter to the organiser and never got a reply . with the" 2" rallies being advertised I will not be going this year by the look of it, it is a shame as I went in the 70s and it was a good rally, after my illness last year I have got a years rallies to make up and will need a lot of convincing to go again
to this Rally

Just been down the A1 today. Guess what Pickering Traction Engine Rally signs at Pickering showground are up on huge billboards. Its for the events organiser Its says at the bottom of the sign. Guess that we all now know that the show is on.

The rally advertised at the events office .com is not on Pickering show ground and is organised by sb the other rally advertised is on the showground and organised by the events organiser totally different companies but is confusing having nearly the same name !!!!!!!!!!

Nigel the waters appear a little muddy!!

is it me or is this getting a little boring?

I must confess that up until three years ago I attended Pickering regularly but since I make the trek to S Cerney and have a great time down there .
If it's a good weekend weather wise I spend a day at Cromford on the other day .
I know were I stand with both shows but Pickering is complicated , I'm sad to say .

SB's latest lies then I guess.
there was once a great commentator who said a fantastic remark. An SB event would be brilliant if SB didn't get involved.

The statment given by SB is not always the full story.http://m.maltonmercury.co.uk/news/lo...-firm-1-919274

Escalating building cost?
More like bad management.
The man tried to buy most of pickering.
However the amount of people he put through university he should by admired for.

This is getting ridiculous. The best thing that could happen is that Pickering rally (in whichever guise it wants to be) disappeared from the calendar all together. There has been so much negative publicity with the event over the last 20 years that its beyond a joke now. I don't care who is organising it, be it SB or this new chap that seems to have come along, at the end of the day, they are running it for their own back pocket. I would much rather go to the likes of Cromford that weekend, and have a nice laid back weekend and see any funds raised go to deserving charities.

Some good posts here, broaden your horizons Pickeringites!!

Does it matter if the event organiser does the event for profit ??
I can think of at least one other event down south that is run by a limited company.
The new organiser seems to be on the ball.
We do not want to loose any more rallies.
Surely we should give the event some support ??
Now it has new oranisation every one was pleased with the event last year.

I think this is a case of "use it or lose it".

It used to be a good rally a few years back.

that I think says it all

The last time we attended Pickering was back in 2000 and I have to admit, it was a belting show then. Haven't been back in more recent years due to escalating diesel prices etc Although we did used to enjoy Simon's event at Clumber park that never really seemed to kick off the way it ought to.

How about trying Torbay rally for a change ? see www.torbaysteamfair.co.uk for details
