I think that it was the one held there a few years back, but they  changed location a few times and has now been at Tabley for a number of years, not sure why.

Hello Neil

The snag with tomorrow`s show…………….is the rain!

So it`ll either be a mudbath or even cancelled as it was last year!

My advice is….check before you go!

Don`t think we will be going now, which is a great pity, as it is a great show!

Bob

cheers bob…….from the weather the last 3 days, i doubt whether we’ll be venturing to that one, then.a real shame after all the effort that is put into such events.neil.

[The Long BuildParticipant @thelongbuild]

Not wanting to rub salt into the wounds but it was a great 2 days..     However there is in addition to the one mentioned by Bob another Traction engine Rally at Astle Park on the 9th & 10 August .

Here is a link   http://astleparktractionenginerally.theeventsoffice.co.uk/

[neil hpParticipant @neilhp]

cheers for that info. unfortunately I’ll be up on the Clyde for my annual two weeks holidays, Waverley spotting at that time, or would have gone……..weather might have picked up enough by then to at least take my b****y thermals off!!!
