I think that 'Beach Cleaner' and 'EASy' both make very valid points.
To make an event viable in the current climate of financial restraint, the organisers must appeal to the widest variety of the paying public as possible. Vintage tractor's, stationary engines etc, have a wide appeal to many people and should be welcomed as such for the role they have in our Industrial and Farming heritage. Hence my view that the Cornish Steam and Country Fair needs tweaking and not necessarily major change.
There have been a lot of positive comments, both here and elsewhere, that have justifiably congratulated the organisers for the tremendous effort they have put in to staging a successful event, to which I would add my congratulations too. Lets all pull together to support WESES in the future to keep this annual event going for many years to come.
