Well that was a great weekend. Good selection of engines, no hi-viz gestapos telling you what you can't do, a lovely setting and a nice hard perimeter road to play on. Here's hoping it was a success and happens next year.

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.

Hi Charlotte

Who should I contact to book in the Austin 7 ?. Saw the show last year as a visitor and was very impressed.

Thanks
Paul
