Joe I am torn between the 2. I want to go to both. In fact there are 4 things on this weekend where I feel I should be. Coal mining is in my blood - more so than steam (the only thing that is!). It is the way things go. As Chairman of a mining banner society and Chairman of The Durham Mining Museum, I cannot avoid the event even if I wanted to. On the Sunday I am chaperone to my Scottish Brass Band while they play in the bandstand at Beamish Museum. I cannot be everywhere.
