GLR Steam show 2009

Late update but you know that from me now anyway.

Our 2nd Steam show at the GLR was for the first time over 2 days with lots more interest than before however the weather prior to the show in other regions kept people away, although in the end we had a good & varied selection of machinery & displays. Saturday was excellent weather-wise but Sunday the grey cloud loomed most of the day but never opened.

Being only 2nd show, things can only go on the up, as word spreads, etc. Lots of new faces again this year. Steam shows take anywhere up to 10 years to get a footing, so fingers crossed we're doing it right.

Still have some piccy's to enjoy

Classic cars on the Sunday. Under the cover is a Model T but it doesn't like the rain.
