I think I caught them all. The Foden 'Victoria' was missing this year but I heard they had a wedding to attend ... . . .

i see there is a pic of woodwards little aveling now with the rubber tyre,s taken off, i know it wont be to heavy

we use to go for many years with vintage tractors on the field i asked Len ricketts who organises the rally on the field about a friend with his aveling 6 ton roller coming he said the town was not up to him but he was welcome on the field and did not think it would be able to go in the town because of all sorts of problems with underground drians , witch seems daft when you think of a heavy showmans engine

Brilliant pics once again David, I was there on the sunday and after a long walk round the field looking at some superb trucks etc, and having talked to numerous people, I then headed into town, having not been for a couple of years, I was shocked by the amount of fairground rides, they were crammed in every street, whilst the steam section was put in a side street or out side the pub, I think the original idea of a Victorian weekend has long gone, what a great shame, I remember the whole of Mostyn Street crammed with engines and organs for its whole length.

i understand the amount of modern rides is due to the cost of the steam boys, road closures and insurance

i have to agree its just a modern fair with a few side attractions now
