A&P 4255 and 4765 are going. As they are mine and my Dads that is all I can say. You need '4040' on here to comment.

Hi, there is no engine list as such, but there is a good turn out along with some lovely portables and 3 passenger trailers are on site waiting to give free rides to all.

There are five engines coming that have never been to the Stithians site before including a very rare portable.
Also a couple of interesting restoration projects are coming along that have never been seen in public before.

So all in all a very good turn out despite being given a vastly reduced budget for my first time as the Steam Secretary. I can only thank all the engine owners very much for making this possible.

I hope that the weather is kind to us this year and look forward to seeing some of you there.

There will be daily updates on the website http://www.cornishsteamandcountryfair.co.uk/
and on the Facebook site https://www.facebook.com/pages/Corni...15660178545225 from this weekend for those that are interested.

Thanks Adrian, if I can get transport sorted out I will be there. I sold my BMW last year as we could not afford to run two cars and it all depends if my wife needs the car over the weekend for ferrying my two grandchildren who live with us around!

I look forward to meeting you.

Regards,
Tom.

Hope to be paying a visit this year after missing the WESES since the St Agnes (wonderful rally) days.
