The open day turned out to be a great sucess. Many thanks to all that helped and attended, not just the steam group, but everyone. The trailer rides were busy all day with many changes of engine throughout the day. Cafe ran out of bacon butties. Even our extream chippy, Dave F was kept busy on the bandsaw.

Stu.

Went down late due again to work. Thanks to Dan and Chris for their hospitality and others for making me feel welcome. As I have said before, a brilliant event well worth a visit, come rain or shine! Dave F's sawing display is well set up with barrier fencing in keeping with the display with of course Dan's Fowler Adagio in working clothes driving a stone crusher. good display of engines and rollers, all in an early industrial setting.
Unfortunately I have no pics on this occasion, camera failed.
But thanks again to all involved in putting on the event
Cheers Roger

Thumbs up Thanks
I can only echo what Stuart has already said, if it wasn't for all the effort of everyone. This event would not have been the success that it was. Many thanks to you all, as so much is involved before, during & after the event.

Very pleased to met up & talk to you again Roger, you are always welcome. I am very glad that you enjoy you time there, even if you where there a little later on!
Shame the camera was no good, hope someone has got some photos of the event?




All the best

Dan
