we use to go for many years with vintage tractors on the field i asked Len ricketts who organises the rally on the field about a friend with his aveling 6 ton roller coming he said the town was not up to him but he was welcome on the field and did not think it would be able to go in the town because of all sorts of problems with underground drians , witch seems daft when you think of a heavy showmans engine

Brilliant pics once again David, I was there on the sunday and after a long walk round the field looking at some superb trucks etc, and having talked to numerous people, I then headed into town, having not been for a couple of years, I was shocked by the amount of fairground rides, they were crammed in every street, whilst the steam section was put in a side street or out side the pub, I think the original idea of a Victorian weekend has long gone, what a great shame, I remember the whole of Mostyn Street crammed with engines and organs for its whole length.

I have never understood the set up at Llandudno. I can understand that they don't want steel on the roads but there is a "separate" rally on the fields above the town where the trucks, tractors, stationaries, stalls etc are located. It is a big field and it would be great to see some steam engines on there, be it rollers, other steel shod engines, more minatures and so on.
I don't know if it's the same committee or not but I'm sure for the size of the town, more could be done. I also got the impression this year that there were not so many additional 'street theatre' acts. Maybe someone who exhibits there could comment? Don't get me wrong, it's a great event but it seems to be lacking given the potential. |
