A very enjoyable afternoon spent lakeside ( Not the Sunday Lakeside trip some wives thought they were going to! ), with a dozen full sized engines plus various other splendid machines to enjoy, including a super 1938 Leyland Fire tender. Pity there wasn't a programme or entry list to be found anywhere, but otherwise not bad at all for a first time event and great value (just £5 per car - including passengers). Everyone relaxed, friendly and enjoying themselves. We even had some traditional 'summer seaside' beach weather ... yep ... Dank and wet ;-)
Many thanks to the organisers and hopefully it will happen again, and maybe some full sized engines will be allowed to display /pose nearer the lake (please!). One final thing, can anyone confirm the identity of the Ruston & Hornsby portable engine please? (Was it R&H No. 175037 of 1935 per chance?) cheers Adrian |

As above Tom Boon and team have had the go ahead from Anglian Water to run this great rally again next year. It's in a good setting with plenty of hard roads, 2015 will see Dr Busker on the Friday night, some steam boats on the water, and a Saturday evening Road Run.
