2015 will see the 60th anniversary of the formation of the West of England Steam Engine Society

The event will be taking place on the following dates,

Thursday 13th August 2015, the ‘Alan Thomas Memorial Road Run’

This event will be incorporating the usual stunning run up Engine Hill along with a pub stop at the Victory Inn.
From there the Engines will make their way to the Stithians Showground for the start of the Cornish Steam & Country Fair.

The Total distance will be approximately 16 miles along some nice engine friendly roads

(Start location to be confirmed)

We will be able to provide camping at the Stithians site from the weekend before for anyone wishing to take a short break in Cornwall

The 2015 budget has not been set as yet but I’m hoping to have an increase to help get more engines down from other parts of the Country

If anyone is provisionally interested in attending please get in touch via,

We hope to be able to work with the ‘Boconnoc’ event on this one to help make it more financially viable for those that have longer distances to travel and might fancy a West Country tour

The Boconnoc dates are 24th to 26th July 2015

One thing on our wish list would be to have as many engines as practical that attended the first 1956 rally at this event

I will update with more information as and when it becomes available, Thanks
