Any news please as to whether Hampshire Museum's Tasker wago will make an appearance at this event?

Sadly Hampshire museum services have had to cancel last minute bringing the Tasker wagon, due to some running problems which occured during the test runs.

Sorry to anyone intending to come and see it.
