Cornish Steam & Country Fair (WESES)

[Late Western]

Thanks for posting David, saved me an hour this eve. There were a number of Cornish engine and regular attenders absent, I'm sure for good reason. Also no fair ground, their choice not to attend apparently, due to not taking enough to make it worth while. I do have concerns about the long term future. I'm sure there will be much discussion in coming months.
Can any one shed light on the polkinhorne house mystery?

A lot of cornish engines do not attend for various resons, including mine (3816), she is home in the shed, gleaming and ready for our next event.

Just looked at the events website, which states " see showmans engines" generating power to the large rides in the vintage funfair, it also states 50+ full size steam engines, not a very good advert if no funfair !!!!

I've just checked that myself, and you're correct Steve. We will have to ensure that that doesn't happen in future.

It's an unfortunate oversight with a carried over website. Unfortunately we don't have enough people to keep on top of all the jobs all the time

Despite this it is still up there with one of two top engine attending events (in numbers) in the West Country and a number of owners have asked to come next year for the 60th anniversary event which will include the 'Alan Thomas Memorial Road Run'

So subject to next years budget it could be a very good turn out indeed

Better start booking the date for next year then. ''Engine Hill, here we come''.
