Wet Wet Wet
Well just returned home from the Torbay rally site yesterday, after the whole weekend was a total washout, can i say a big thankyou to all the steam boys for your patients over the weekend, and we hope to see most of you back again. I was very upset to find that some engine owners took it upon themselves to STEAL coal off the coal lorry on the Sunday morning after the show was called off, please rest assured you were being watched and you will not be at the Torbay rally again !!!!!! From a show where NO paying public came through the pay gates we now find ourselves with a coal bill of close to £1000. Of course on top of all this was all the other items that have to be paid for ie :- engine haulage costs, toilets, large tents, ground rent and REPAIR, all the printing etc, it now costs a huge amount of money to run a show of this size.
Now for some good news, see you at next years TORBAY STEAM FAIR, July 31st, August 1st & 2nd .
Steve, with the very quiet, sheeted, 3 speed, RED "Burrell"
