well if the organizers of this other show don't pull their socks up and tell people about this "new, more exciting rally" then how will any one be able to arrange to go let alone know about it. If you know the details, tell us then Stuart.

Any preconceptions about this "West Suffolk Country Fair" should be put to one side for the time being, The only part Rougham Estate in this from what I can tell is to be supplying the event venue.

I forget who said it now, but the phrase "Early to bed, Early to Rise, no dam good if you don't advertise" comes to mind.

I've already attended one so called "replacement rally" for rougham at Stoneham barns, (incorporating the mid and west Suffolk shows) with Natel Taylor, Ernie Eagle (with both his full size and half size) myself (with working demo) and 2 model engines. That was it for the steam section and was held the weekend after Long Melford Rally. It was Dubbed Rougham's replacement by several of the old crew from Rougham Inc Jean Wattling (commentator), Brian James (stalls) and several other old Rougham Crew.

As for a "more exciting rally" I always find this depends on where my friends are. A excellent show professionally organized and paying well may be a good show, but I always have more fun at a show where many of my friends are there and where we can have natters and tails during the day and a friendly drink, and joke in the evening.

So where is this "new, more exciting rally" and when will we hear more details about it? The longer time ticks one the more time people have to drift away and book into other shows. My own personal feeling is it is always polite of a show orgainzer to give exhibitors between 6 and 4 mouths notice of show dates etc, and this is what I attempt at Langley and Raveningham (entry forms will be out early in the new year)
