Hats off to the organisers keeping the show going. Plenty of tractors and putting down of bark chippings , my 4 year old has taken a shine to the Wall Of Death and wants to go again tomorrow. Can't understand why the NTET sales stand was shut all day (poor show) The other book seller selling steam and fairground books seemed to be doing well all day.

Can only echo previous post. And Frequent Flyer I'm with your daughter on this one!
Managed to walk around site without boots an without getting muddy. Well thought ought path from car park make what could have been an ordeal..a stroll.
Some good original looking rollers there and an unusual Centre Flywheel Aveling with an interesting set up for cylinder block.
Anyway to tempt folks along tomorrow here's a few shot. Might go back tomorrow my self.
Cheers Well done to the organisers, those that brought exhibit and good luck tomorrow


This is entrance from car park grass is surprising firm and even the muddy bit is firm underneath I managed to traverse the muddy bit in light shoes by stepping in the tyre tracks, no problem.

The line up

Well turned up today and it was chucking it down. I arrived lat but apparently turn out wasn't to bad. More or less everything that moved needed towing off. Still managed to get around without using boots! Few more pics

That's my old roller! Aveling 4877 of 1901. (YA 1975) Utterly useless (as she's a single speed) on even damp grass! Good to see the old girl being enjoyed my it new ( since oct 2006!) owners!

Watch out for the Ransomes next year!
