MSRVS miniature engine rally, Tewkesbury Glos

[grumbum1]

Just to complete the thread - The driver experience sessions were a huge success based on the happy faces (quite a few grubby and smutty it should be said!) of everyone who came to collect their badge and certificate. A significant donation to Sue Ryder will be made in due course.

It interesting that for the first session on Saturday morning we had four engines offering driver experience - Sunday afternoon saw a really busy ring (12 engines going round) with a queue of engines awaiting their "trainees".

I am sure this will now become an annual "opportunity".

Thanks to everyone who supported our show. We will try and arrange similar weather next year!

I certainly enjoyed my day, and I am glad Sunday was a success, too.... was great to meet yourself, Derek, Peter, and both Chris', as well as other members with their engines around the field....
Looking forward to next year already! It was worth the drive up.... (just needs more entertainment for kids... that's the only thing)

I went Sunday and become a member of the club. I was fortunate to have a driving session in the ring on Mr Sharpe's 4" Clayton & shuttlewoth which was my first ever experience at driving an engine. I then was given the opportunity to drive a 6" engine belonging to a member of the black country club, sorry I forgot his name. Thoroughly enjoyed the day.

As previously mentioned all donations are going to Sue Ryder hospices, as soon as I get a confirmation of the total raised I will post details here. Thanks to all who took part and without a doubt a similar thing will take place next year.

The total raised for Sue Ryder was £283.40. A big thank you to all who took part in making this a success.
