Looking forward to it - just hope the weather is an improvement over last years, which is why I didn't make it!

I also missed last years show because of the weather and hope this year things turn out better , very good event .
Is the figure of 80+ engines made up of full size and minature ?

This is a worthwhile question. I attended a ralley that stated 60 engines, and greater than 50% (32 of 60) were minatures. This was very dissappointing. Nothing wrong with the small ones, and I admire the engineering skills that goes into making them, just that I was expecting 60 full size jobs.

Understand a mixture of both so should be a good turn out.

steammart 28th June 2009 09:25 PM

I understand there is over 40 full size expected and over 30 miniatures expected, hope the weather holds out!

Dont think it could get much worse than last year

Hi,
We'll be there with our Sentinel and Fowler K5. Duncombe park is always a great rally, a lovely spacious field and a brilliant setting. A good variety of exhibits and an all round good small rally.
