Steam show gathering pace

With our annual Steam & vintage show now 4 weeks away (crikey, better pull my finger out) things are coming together & falling into place.

We're expecting trade stands, crafts, model displays, steam traction both on rails and on the road, tractors, cars, comercial vehicles, classic bikes, stationary engines, model boats on the lake, a bar running all day serving local Real Ales & cider, aswell as our trains running with something special happening on the Saturday & fine volunteer staff running the Pines buffet.

The steam section this year - we're expecting to have Stuart Wells from the Lynton & Barnstable Railway with his fine 7.25" one-third scale YEO locomotive, respendent in the pre-Southern era L&B livery & hopefully a spot of track for him to "play". Along with minature steam from displays on a tables through 2", 4" and a couple 12" to the foot monsters.

Our fully licensed bar will be having again a selection of local real ales from the Cottage Brewery Company as well as local cider from just round the corner in Templecombe.

Plenty of various crafts & trand stands with a little bit of everything for someone from cakes - toys, that missing nut you can't find to custom made pockect watches, along with our recently refribished shop.

I'll update more in a week hopefully if i remember.

Cheers, Steve
