I have 4 tables or 48 square feet of space to fit engines onto
Is anyone coming...if they are is there any chance of them bringing an old type SP5 or a SP2D as I am intending to do the complete SP range as part of the stand and they are the 2 engines I am missing

Just had chat with Phil. They have found a place for next year by a river and part of a pub The landlord is very interested in steam and holds a Mamod race with the SODEM traction engine club every year
I'm allowed to take a compressor so I will atleast have something running this year

| steamyjim |
Indeed, supposedly the 'Monster Mamod' was entered into it a while ago...i'd like to enter a Challenger or similar with the fixed cylinder

Is anyone here definatley going?? | ||||||||
| Spokesmann |
Im not going to be able to make it Jim, why has it been now changed to a no live steam set up? 
|
||||||||
| steamyjim |
That's a shame! I beleive it is something to do with the owners of the building not wanting the risk or something similar I'm not sure, Phil said he would tell me what happened tomorow
|
||||||||
| Spokesmann |
Fire reg and H&S I suppose. Publiv liabilty insurance would be expensive too! Is the building listed? I looked at it on Google maps!
