Marshall Rally at Gainsborough is still on that weekend, certainly choose that over Pickering

Realy sorry to hear about Cromford, but yes please come and see us at Gainsborough, mainly a tractor event ( 60 years of Field Marshall 3a) about 1/2 dozen steamers and all the usual rally stuff ploughing, threshing ect. All proceeds go to the recently opened Gainsborough Heritage Centre home of a good number of Marshall records. Hope to see some of you there.

Thanks Paul

I am gutted by this cancellation, as Cromford was going to be a "staging post" on my way to the Lincoln Rally two or three weeks later. This makes the trip to Lincoln a three-day journey instead of the one, then rally, then two days trip planned.

If anyone wants an Aveling GP engine at their event somewhere in the Chesterfield/Matlock area on what would have been Cromford weekend, please let me know!

you can always go to the number 1 rally in the north pickering not much chance of getting stuck there are roads around the rally field

Where the engines park near the ring there isn't.

Chairoplanes,

I don't think roading 100 miles to Pickering, then another 80 to get to Lincoln is a very practical proposition, when Lincoln is only 70-odd miles away directly!
