Astle Park Steam Fair.

NHH

Oh dear! I do hope that this is not the same company that puts on the 1000 engine rally.

have been this weekend has been cancelled. Can't find

closed down, which sounds ominous. What a shame, have

including engines.

No Kim, This is the gentleman who when we moved the 1000 engine from Tatton to Astle Park threatened any Steam Engine Driver to show at our rally with being banned from any of his shows. I still think the origional Astle Park show run by the village about 25 years ago as one of the best ever. The church ladies group ran the catering tent & the value was so good that most exhibitors just ate at the catering tent.

the 1000 engine rally in june is run by five counties vintage machinery organisation Ltd the event this weekend was run by the event and exhibitions and nothing at all to do with the 1000 engine rally

Thanks Tiger, there'll be a lot here that appreciate the reassurance.

Check out the Traction Talk site, there's a huge amount of reading regarding the chap who organises it all - Boak I think his name is. He did a disappearing act at Pickering and nobody got paid, low loaders blocking the gates, police in attendance etc.....
