Toddington/Cheltenham GWR Steam Rally 2011? - Traction-Talk

At GDSF I heard that the Toddington/Cheltenham GWR steam rally is not being held this year. Does anyone know if this is true and whether we will see the return of it next year?

It's a local rally to me and I've enjoyed going along as a spectator the last couple of years.

Cheers
Ed

I heard the same. Nothing is shown on their website.

I'm going to Kettering instead as they are not having one

This particular show, is no more.

Possibility of something else same weekend next year though (unconnected), in Gloucester Docks.

It is such a same, it was a good rally and was packed when I went last year. Road run was good as well for more than one reason.

I thought it was only temporary as the railway landslide is where the resources are needed...

I wouldn't be surprised for two people to have been told two different things.

What is fact is that there is no event this year.
