7th and 8th November Masham Bonfire and Steam Party
 

I have been asked by Flo Grainger to let you all know that she is organising a get together of steam engines to coincide with the nearby Masham Bonfire and Firework Display.
The event is taking place over the weekend of 7th and 8th November at The Old Station Yard, Masham with a Grand Bonfire Supper on the Saturday evening. Several engines are expected to be in attendance and all profits are being donated to the air ambulance.
For further details contact Flo on 01765 689569.

The old station yard also boasts excellent camping facilities and restaurant/cafe
(I can vouch for the full english breakfast)

Where on the map is this place then ? "The Old Station Yard, Masham"


Cheers

Hello. Its on the A6108 about 3/4 of a mile to the east of Masham.
Heading from Masham towards Ripon it is on the right hand side at the bottom of the hill
and directly opposite the rally field exhibiter entrance if you are familiar with the rally.

Forgot to mention Everyone welcome

PLEASE NOTE this event has nothing to do with the organisers of the masham steam rally as we have had some phone calls asking details can people please call mrs grainger direct on 01765689569 thank you

Thanks for the info.. looked at the map it's near Ripon ! but too far for me I'm afraid, Hope all goes well.

Cheers

Grand afternoon, good beer and 5 engines this afternoon. Hope it's as good tomorrow.

Gutted I couldn't get there! The best beers are brewed in Masham - Black Sheep and Theakstons!

Which engines were present?

The engines present at masham at the weekend were-

Dave Robinsons Marshall 'Cressing Temple'
Bill Summerells Aveling roller 'Luci'
Stuart Ritchies Foden wagon
Les Vernons Fowler Showmans 'Delilah'
Turner Brothers brought along Aveing Showmans 'Billy Boy' but only on saturday

There was also a couple of cars and tractors.

A great weekend was had by all although it rained on saturday night and there was a definate feel about it been on next year

Flo was delighted with the turnout of exhibitors and visitors alike. She has asked me to thank everyone that turned up and supported the event and made it a grand weekend in particular Dave Robinson for his efforts. A total of £750-00 was raised for The Yorkshire Air Ambulance.
A small seed has now been sown and it is hoped to repeat the event next year possibly on a slightly earlier date.
