On our way home from Rempstone and Papplewick we stopped off at the final Birdingbury Steam and Country Show just off the Fosse Way. It's always been a small village event and with the sad passing of the prime move Bob Munro, it seems the rest of the team felt his boots were too big to fill.

Rempstone will take a lot longer to edit up, it was a great show and blessed with much better weather than 2016.

We attended on the Saturday along with many other satisfied visitors.

Marvellous event, shame about the weather which was almost totally overcast save for late Friday afternoon and early Sunday before the rally was officially open. The pictures do not reflect how grim was the light:

A very rushed report:

Unfortunately, the show didn't get the weather to reward the effort made to improve the show compared to when we last went in 2015.

Not many shows can manage 7 ploughing engines and 3 pairs at work. Plus two direct ploughing engines although these were not active on the Sunday.

Unfortunately on the Friday and Saturday the weather for photography was as bad as the show was good.

On Sunday, the results would have been much better between the showers but I had other important business to conduct in Stroud's Golden Valley:

It's been a very busy weekend, there will be the odd mistake, please let me know as usual.

Location, location, location...

Mostly familiar faces but in a new setting.

As always, thrown together quickly after a long distance weekend away, apologies for the inevitable mistakes.
