Just thought I would mention the Kelsall rally is on again this year - this coming weekend. Same venue as last year after the previous venue turned into a first world war re-enactment a few years back.

Visited this show on Saturday. The new locations is huge, flat and well drained, and there are masses on the commercial side. There is an entire field for stationary engines, and I think I counted 53 - but none like my ST mains generator. Maybe I should bring it to a show with a lathe or a milling machine for it to power. I am worried that visitors must get the idea that all these engines are good for is a few light bulbs, or floating a rubber duck. It might be an idea to make one do some work for a change - I don;t think I have ever heard one working much over tickover.
There are a dozen or more steam traction engines, quite a selection of scale model steamers, and a miscellany of tractors, buses, fire equipment, military. old cars and old bikes with loads of room for more. Normal parade ground in the middle with good PA.
The big deal was the ERF anniversary and apart from having the first ERF diesel (1933) they have the last, and about a hundred inbetween (200 was mentioned, so there may be more on Sunday). Under the bonnets this probably amounts to the biggest Gardener engine assemblage in years.
This look like a substantial and growing show, and plenty of room for stationary engines.
