Time for me to cheekily bump this to the top of the threads!!

This year at Dial Post we have 31 full size engines booked and 25 miniatures. We also have a selection of tractors, cars, bikes/motorbikes and commercial vehicles.
New for this year we have a small road making section and we also have two steam driven saw benches.
An old tyme fair with gallopers, big wheel and chairo'planes plus juveniles will hopefully keep the kids happy! And a variety of stalls should be enough to distract the other half!
We have tried to put as much as possible into a fairly small site.
All we need now is visitors!!

Have you booked the sunshine for BOTH days this year????

Booked, But whether or not it turns up is another matter!!

This weekend, just to bring it back to the top!

Seems like a few TTer's will be there, anyone fancy meeting up for a beer or two?

Not been before, so taking suggestions for a venue and time.

Should be there. Got across as far as the Eatwells on Saturday and doing the rest late Friday afternoon. Hopefully I'll have the trailer brakes sorted by then - lost a good half hour when they seized on. There was certianly more smoke from them than the engine though the other half might suggest there was even mnore coming out my ears!

Our Aveling Tractor will be turning up at some point on Thursday. Foden going down early Saturady morning.

Looking forward to it.

We will be down friday at somepoint in the afternoon/evening roading the sentinel down from petersfield so should be a good run. Not sure on a venue for the meet up, beer tent is as good as any I guess? come and say hello if any traction talkers are there we will be with the Sentinel S4

we are going take the roller on thurday night

Ellen will be taking a ride down there behind the scammell on friday night, yippee, no 'strake shake' knee's & fallen out fillings ! See you all there, Ian

Ollie (chief polisher) and me will be steaming the Burrell up to the show on Friday afternoon, probably during Fridays forecast rain showers! Let's hope that the weekend is totally dry (weatherwise that is)

I see the forecast has changed for about the 4th time this week.

Looks like a nice cool rain shower for tomorrow when we're setting up.

Mixed weather this a.m., but hot and sunny this p.m. Great event with some new additions since last year. Has the feel of an earlier era of rallies. No high vis everywhere, and unobtrusive double-rope barriers. Good commentry and loads going on all day. Photos to follow.
