The grand parade on Saturday afternoon. Almost all the steam engines gathered in the arena. 14 steam exhibits attended the show, including 2 miniature ploughers and a miniature Showman's engine. Ladies steering competition is always a favorite.
2 of the miniature ploughers demonstrated their ploughing skills. Pip Barnes pulling the pints behind the bar. She tells me it's all in the wrist action!
A motley crew!! Half the rally site decided to pop down the local village on Saturday evening, and there just happened to be a pub. What a surprise!!! Time to drink up! The evening entertainment awaits

 

Mark fancies himself as a model for Grattons catalogue The engines set off back to the site
Pete and John get down to a serious conversation Trailers always come in handy when you're on a road run.
Wait a minute, didn't we see these guys before. I can't believe it, they are still having an intelligent conversation. (although Pete on the right is yawning a little) Surprise!!!!

Richard thinks someone is going to steel his beer!

Ah, the old car pull trick. You don't see this many places, the steam engines show off their power by tearing a fiesta car into two pieces. There it goes!!
And Bob drives the front end of the car away All the fun of the fair. Chris, Penny and Tom enjoy the fun of the fair.
Here they come again (You wont believe how many picture were wasted trying to get these shots) Chariot racing! What! people on the back of wood pallets stabbing balloons with pieces of bamboo with nails in them. Mad you say! Yes, probably. Good fun, Definitely!
Who are these people? I know it's that intelligent guy! Doesn't look intelligent now. Does he?
