And it was muddy! Burrell 3411 could get no further.

Hope you had a good time David. You had a grin on your face every time I saw you. Some very good pictures, sorry about Sudays rain we had some rides going then it seemed that some people started to pull out early, this may of been due to some phone calls put out to local radio stations saying that the event was off. This report did not come from any of the committee. Thanks who ever it was? hope we never meet.

Is that another Pickfords trailer? Or is it the same haulage trailer as was sold a few months back?

Must be another one, as it's on pneumatic tyres.
The one with Lion was solid tyred from memory.

they have done very well to get that far by the looks of the mud, :) thumbsup

We heard it was a great show - even with the weather.

Did anyone get a photo of Scoobys' RSJ portable - it was its' first show? Well done to him.

Yes I agree - it looked great thumbsup

Peter's old trailer was on solid tyres, but then again, doesn't take too much to change wheels, However it might be another trailer... just thought i'd ask anyways...

Who said it was a Pickfords trailer, it might be a trailer with Pickfords painted on the side.

I was thinking exactly the same! I can only assume the field became more churned since the roller stopped there?! If not then 10/10 for effort to the driver!!!

Sounds like it was a fantastic show and nice to read that people were not disheartened by the relentless British summer weather (again!).thumbsup
