Buxworth Steam Party - 6th/7th October

[Maud Foster]

Just a short note to advertise the Buxworth Steam Party on October 6th and 7th.

There should be about a dozen full-size engines, and whatever other tackle turns up. There's some free beer and food for engine owners, and hopefully other exhibitors, too.

It is held on the car parks of Buxworth War Memorial Club and the Navigation Inn, which is alongside the historic Bugsworth Basin, the terminus of the Peak Forest Canal, and interchange with the Peak Forest Tramway.

If you'd like to bring along your pride and joy, we'd be more than happy to accommodate you.

Contact me via pm on here for more info.
