Bill Target memorial steam rally

Now's as good a time as any to post a review I suppose!!

At about 4am on Saturday the forecast for torrential rain had changed to possibility of showers, so when the family finally stirred I persuaded them that we should go that day.

The site was nice and easy to find, always a good start for your first visit. The entry fee is very reasonable as well. The site is well laid out, although I felt the engines were rather tucked in a corner with only one way in and out which was in the middle. I was very impressed by the quantity and variety of engines there. The parade of the engines to the arena was great to watch, just a shame they lined them all up facing the wall of caravans on the top side, would of been much better for the viewing public to have them facing them.

I have to agree that the engine games were great to watch, and the sliding Foden was unexpected, and I never saw an engine move so fast, even if it was a miniature!

My only real gripe was the number of cars going around the site, it's not something I like

Thanks to Wizz for recommending it, a good start to the year for us, and I promise Wizz, I'll bring muffins to the next one!
