Here we are again then... get ready for 2008 and more Steam Fairs & Rallies than ever.

Well, apart from the fact that nostalgia is very "in" at the moment, these events are a great family outing. It doesn't matter whether you are four or sixty four, there is something to interest everyone of us. To me, everything is larger than life and twice as colourful, the sounds of the whistles, the chuffing and hissing, the mesmerising fairground organs and the crafts, toys, books and magazines combine to make a very special day out.

Don't forget to order your slogan T shirt from this site.

If you would like your event included in this list or In forthcoming months, please email me via the contact form at the foot of this page, & I will do my best to include details.
