Mid Shrops Vintage Club Rally

Hi Gary, the exhibits list seem to place stationary engines as a very small part! How does this compare with Onslow park at the end of August? (We should be at Onslow) -- Dave Croft Warrington England

Am I just squeaky mean and out of date or is a seven quid entry fee rather on the steep side?

Dave I hav'nt exhibited there before, but i visited in 2003, and there was a good selection of about 40-50 engines. I have to admit our club is tractor mad, and the stationary engines tend to take a back seat, but there are quite a few engine men in the club. I personally dont think our rally comes close to onslow, in terms of public entertainment, as onslow has an exellent working area, with lots going on for the public to see, but we tend to be a little restricted, because of the location in the town. The rally used to be held at atcham on the outskirts of shrewsbury, which in my opinion was a far better site, but i guess they moved it to pull in the public. As for the entry fee, i have to agree with kim seven quid is a bit steep. I think a fiver would be more like it, but the money does go to good causes.
