Default Bishops Castle 2012. Thanks

I'm in the process of getting some images posted but just to say a big thanks to Mr. Evans for all his hard work in making it the best show ever. Everyone who mentioned his name had nothing but praise for him. Even his dad was pleased enough to give him some extra pocket money for a job well done.

We have decided to divide the money you guys raised for charity 50/50, £307 each between the local hospitals patient fund and the local first response lady, living in a very rural area she is almost always first on the scene, and has attended our younger steam enthusiasts 2011 and 2012. speaking to her today the money will go towards equipment fund.

Many Thanks Everyone involved

The Michealmas commitee have not covered costs again this year, from sponsorship and wristband sales. With the amount of people in town enjoying the event it is really disappointing, (£5 for a wristband all weekend). The effort exibitors and organisers put into it, good weather, and it still cant cover costs really makes you think if it will ever work But suppose you cannot make people pay to walk around there own town.

really not sure about next years event going ahead
