Last night was the annual give away of the profit from the show of the donations to local causes/youth groups/village halls etc. From the 2 day rally the total given away was IIRC £84k

It never ceases to amaze me how much Allen Eaton and his team do for the local community. Its a great weekend in July. Why do we not see other statements like this from rallies? Surely its good P.R

Top marks to all concerned, that's a fantastic sum.

Don't forget their firework display & bonfire on Sat 6th November.

£ 1 entry - how do they do it ?

Oh and Dr B IS playing in the beer tent.

Fabulous rally, thoroughly enjoyed it as usual. There are always a good assortment of market stalls to keep the good lady happy and THE best tea-tent of any rally I know . . . . Oh and nearly forgot . . a good selection of engines! Congratulations to all the team, looking forward to next year, God-willing.
