i went last year for 4 days and it is a great show, prob the best in europe

i think it would be a good idea if we can get a few guys together and we can book as a rally and camping

My dad's already down there but unfortunately due to work commitments I can't make it. I was raised in a family of traction engine owners so love the smell of them

There's usually a few Minors on display too and it would be great to combine Minor rallies with this sort of event as there's always loads to see and do.

really need to go for the 4 days to see it all

largest lot of steam engines running the old fair, side shows, music etc
also a modern fair

lots of caberet in the evenings

ploughing in fact everything for the individual and family

and you know as an entrant its free

so shall we see if it can be done next year

I would definately be up for something next year. My mog may not be finished but i intend to have it road legal by then!
If anyone is going on the saturday it would be nice to meet and put some names to faces as it were.

On foot is probably the quickest way in! The roads around here have been heaving even more than usual the past week!
