I'm well aware of what has gone off at that show in the past and well that's the past and there still going so I say good luck to them and hope they have a successful weekend. Just a shame we can't attend anymore, otherwise we'd go again.

At the risk of sounding rude, may I say "personal remarks" such as yours are not needed and didn’t need to be "blasted out" it is irrelevant to the discussion in hand. However points (good or bad) regarding shows are what is needed, and your input is valued. my remarks regarding the weather is just what the forecast has been saying, and looks like all use silly sods out and about this weekend in the east are going to get wet at some time. As regards to good luck, I would never wish any show anything except that! Regardless of who’s organizing, what the course is, when it is, where it is or weather I’m going or not. I will say this for Weeting, it harbors a unusual and possibly unique thing, in regards to its working area, if for nothing else, Weeting rally is worth a visit for this alone, with features such as a wood yard with steam wood sawing being done amongst the trees, steam flour milling, seed hulling, chaff cutting, bailing, and threshing. all being done here, with the two large stationary boilers with their various stationary steam engines close by, and not to mention the full size standard gauge railway (all know the name "mainline" is perhaps a bit over ambitious) with working steam saddle tank engine, and wagons being shunted about. Also a chance to photograph several engines that really make an appearance, indeed several are only steamed at Weeting events.

I think there are a few new people bringing engines this year, so it will make a change from just the regulars.
I always enjoy it, I should go and make your own mind up rather than listening to hearsay from others. I must say I thought you had been to Weeting before Stuart!!?? |

Went to Weeting steam Rally today(17th July), was there for about 31/2 hours. Its all changed, nearly every thing is all in one field. I found the arena very small. There were only 2 fowler ploughing engines there. I found that all the atmosphere had gone. Am very sorry it was in the past a very good rally. Tick this one off my list for next year, not for me.
