Default Forncett Museum Open Day
A nice little museum with some mighty engines. Their open day was a good mix all round.
Two full size Avelings, one roller and one tractor and a nice gathering of miniatures.



Andrew (oly2brf5) was there exhibiting some of his mighty fine handywork.



And he was busy.....................




The miniatures in attendance - apologies if I missed you.

I'm sorry to have missed the road run. Feeling rather tired and still a little 'fragile' after a Saturday night out

it was my very first road run persuaded by the guys there to go along. Had a great time and simplicity behaved like never before.

If anyone got any shots of the Burrell Showmans Engine on the run I would love a copy

Many thanks

Richard

Enormous thanks to everyone who turned out and made it such a great occasion. I'll post some photos when I've finished writing 'Thank yous'.
Bill.

A truely excellent day out organised efficiently by Bill Starling (The idle Fellow), brilliant weather as well (not sure who is responsible for that!) the road run was great fun and organised to be as safe as possible. Can't praise it all enough.

Cheers Chris H
