masham steam rally 17th 18th july
 

just a quick note to exhibitors and enthusiasts the on going roadworks to a1 mean that this year you can now both exit and enter the masham road from northbound carriageway unfortunatly the southbound is now completly closed this means all southbound traffic has to leave at leeming services and come through bedale thanks. I have 41 steamers entered and this year sees a first for masham with the howard bros attending with engine and gallopers.

Space will be a bit tight Nigel!.....

looking forward to it, hope this fine weather holds and i hope you have an excelent weekend.


Chris.

Fingers crossed for the weather and well be ok for room tony having a bit of a shuffle and there is no public camping on field they are in seperate field.

stop the buggers trying to escape mid sunday afternoon and causing chaos in gate .

Chris.

Looking forward to it, we'll be there Sunday afternoon - so I hope folks don't clear off!

I certainly intend to be still there on Sunday afternoon lets hope the weather stays good especially as this looks like being the last at the West Burton site.

Think you mean the campers chris not exhibitors as we know they dont try and rush of as i know its always hard to get you away from that beer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i did mate, us regulars with or without an engine always stay until late or even the morning after, lets hope the comittee gets things sorted and has another rally next year and the year after that ond so on.
