Sadly too far away for me, but please can you take some pics, especially of the light engine and the Foden?

Cheers

Dave

What heavy haulage is expected as I might have a drive across? ??? Sounds like an interesting show. I hope the weather is good for the weekend.

I've been to Carters at Pinkneys Green twice. Last year (Supremes return) and in 2010.
It really is a super event. If your interest is heritage fairground and transport, all in a wonderful setting, I would recommend it.
Stef.
