Steam at Netley
 

That's really good news! Despite the weather, last years rally was a lot of fun!!!

oh yay fab what good news i cant wait!! 6 months living in berlin with no steam has driven me mad, heres to a new fab season!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tried to get into Netley with the Aveling a few years back, they didn't want to know! What is that all about then??

The Gaffer said F**K 'em so that's the end of that. Shame, I liked it as a visitor.

Hi try getting hold of Rob Rymer he is now the steam marshall

I would like to attend with my roller, I did go last year as a stop gap for someone that had to drop out. But would very much like to attend in my own right.

True, true, I cannot deny the truth, but I seem to remember you ate from the same bottle of ugly pills I did.

:)as long as you don't do any rain dances in the top field dan because is was hard work rolling that mud and bark
:D

When are the entry forms being sent out? Will we automatically get one if we were there last year?

got told the same a few years back charlie very cclicky rally

Getting a entry form
 

Well if you want forms you should contact the show through the web site or the steam marrshall is Rob Rymer
*party

i tried this year aswell but was told it was full up wit there regulars. im not sure the public will want to see the same thing every year.

If i remember the telephone conversation correctly, it was explained to you that the weather was so bad in 2007 and all our steam exhibitors waived their appearance money, i felt it only fair that these were the exhibitors that had the first opportunity to attend in 2008, i personally would not call this clicky but, fair........as it is only my second year in this position, i personally would like to see other engines there for the publics interest and hope in future years that is something we will be able to do

regards Rob Rymer

It's most certainly not a clicky rally. I went for the first time last year since I was about 12 years old. I just asked nicely and was given an entry form......amazing how far you get when you're not rude to people!

Did you bring the rain then ha ha x

No I lay the blame for that one firmly at Dad's feet!!!

Thats right, blame a Burrell owner!!!! :p

It must be "Devonshire" rain LOL

Good luck with Netley folks, I hope you have better luck than last year.

...but of course!!! Couldn't possibly be me with my fabulous Fowler!!!! :D
