Seems to be going down hill steam wise.
Have noticed less steam last few years thought this was a traction engine rally ??
Not a pop concert.
Their was a lot more steam when this event was organised by The Events Office ???

I think you will find that one of the two reasons stems from the 9th August 2009. The other I believe is that in recent years a lot more travellers are atending the event..

Surely a large amount of steamer's are now venturing on down to South Cerney?

Perhaps one of the reasons the steam section is getting smaller is that the organisers dont respond to requests for entry details, we were promised entry forms way back in march but never heard anymore.

The same thing happened at Clumber Park
