Astwood Bank Vintage Gathering 2016

Ooops, it's been a  whole year since this site was updated!

Looking forward to the 2016 show at Astwood Bank this weekend (details here). Here's hoping for good weather!

We should be seeing Darren & Fiona's roadroller 'Jessica' on show, with the finishing touches just made:

Dad on his way to the show ring, shortly after finding out he'd been awarded a cup:

Jessica's back on the road!

Good to see Jessica, the Fowler road roller at large once again following a major restoration, with just a few jobs left to do. Here Darren & I demonstrate that it is possible to reverse a steamroller into a Nissan Micra-sized space in the pub car park:

Darren & Fiona look pleased to be back on the footplate where they belong, with the bulk of the restoration behind them:

Linkey goes to the pub (again).

Astwood Bank Vintage Gathering was a bit inclement on the Friday & Saturday, but it didn't spoil the fun. Saturday evening dried up & saw plenty of engines & tractors going up the road to the Why Not Inn.

Look at the concentration on those faces...

It's Astwood Bank Vintage Gathering this weekend!

We'll be there, with Linkey, the living van and a few tractors. It's always a great show, raising money for a good cause, so be sure to come along if you're in the area:

Steam pin-ups!

Harry, Chris & Linkey have been considered photogenic enough to advertise this year's dates for the Welland Steam Rally. See you there!
