@GorsedhKernow @Skinnersbrewery When the Society was started in 1956 the nearest Steam Rally was Andover! Now steam events are far more popular there are closer events.

@braintumourlady Your comments will be passed to the committee as if no-one ever mentions it we wouldn’t know. Thanks, and hope you enjoy the show.

@braintumourlady (cont) they have been done before. The environmental charge is optional and is related to the costs of the facilities in puttting on a show, which is ever increasing. We hope to be able to continue to stage events in years to come, how they will look we do not yet know. 2/2

@braintumourlady Hi, is this in respect of the model / craft marquee?

[West of England Steam Engine Society Rally @CornishSteam]

@braintumourlady Apologies if it is coming over as unfriendly, the exhibitors and members are the backbone of our rally, without exhibits there would be no event. There has been a changeover of a lot of committee members over the past few years and thinks may not necessarily be as 1/2

[West of England Steam Engine Society Rally @CornishSteam]

We have an extended Craft tent for this year’s event -please get in contact if interested.

1/4 Since our last event in 2019, there have been plans to give the event a refresh, and with a number of Society members having stepped up to assist within the committee, there are many progressive ideas on the table.
