Anyone going to this?

http://www.belpersteam.co.uk/index.html

It's a good wander about for a few hours, have a pint or two, sniff the traction engines, a fair selection of classic cars, all the usual tat, steam organs etc.

I might go Saturday afternoon or sometime on Sunday, who wants to join me?

BTW, it's not actually at Belper anymore, it's now at Duffield just off the main A6 through the town.

I usually go to this and it is good.

Got caught out when they first moved from Belper though !!

Usually have a good display of ex-military vehicles

But I agree, that it is getting increasingly taken over by Shit and Crap stalls

Can’t make this year as out of country

Cheers

Stuart

I love this sort of event, but we have too much to do, we're catching the on Sunday.

Not sure if I can make it. Visiting an ex in London on Fri/Sat wink and may be visiting family on Sunday.

I would turn up but I'm working tomorrow and Michelle has just got back from two weeks away so I'm a tad busy this weekend. If things had not got in the way I would have been there - honest.

Have been searching for a steam fair all week, and this never came up for me. However, went to Country fair at keddlestone hall instead which was quite good.

Was full of farmers basically. They had a guy doing a ferrett demo (I know, hold back the excitement), who was definately not in favour of a hunting ban. He's al miked up, and basically went on a tirade against poofter liberals who weren't in favour of hunting or eating meat. At one point he actually said that in olde worlde englysh the word "vegetarian" meant "bad-hunter", and he meant it too!

Doh. Didn't see this thread in time. We went yesterday. Was a blisteringly hot day. The usual good turn out of vintage cars including the H reg Viva with stupidly low original mileage. Been kept in a garage for years.

The falconry display was brilliant. biggrin
