We will see how Sam gets on with the Striker this weekend - he might need some beer to drown his sorrows and sore back !
Anyone wishing to road their engine in from Chapel, as we did last year, is more than welcome to leave any tackle in our works yard. It is either a quick three miles or a nice scenic 6 miles depending on which route you choose to take. There is room for low loaders at the Brtiannia Wire Works in Buxworth as well as at Chapel.
This event is an end of season party and hopefully will put some of the FUN back into engine owning / driving which is so often drowned out by over zealous comittees these days. Anyone who would like to take a trailer to Whaley Bridge or Chinley to act as a steam taxi service is more than welcome to borrow one and it would be nice to see if a Gold Medal can hold its own against a Tiger in Tiger country as Lord Doverdael prowled North Derbyshire for over 50 years in commercial use and will be almost home again.
