"International Steam" , sorry you were disappointed. Unfortunately this venue primarily hosts many weddings throughout the year and rejected the club's request for an August date because people having weddings didn't want such an event happening in the adjacent field on the same weekend.
With regard to engines attending. This one day event has historically been extremely generous to charities , for many years around £4000 every year has been donated, leaving the club with marginal financial gain each year. For this reason the engines have generously attended without payment. An option would be to pay for more engines to attend but give very little to charity. It's also a difficult site with low loaders (little space) so most of those engines you saw had made a road trip to get there.
If you are local please feel free to attend a club meeting and input with your ideas for the future. Yes, this year was wet and last year the ground waterlogged, but all ten or so previous September dates have been blessed with pretty good weather.
BTW it is Forest Vintage and Machinery Show , not "Speech House show", they have no input into the event.
