Anyone attend this one?
We went for a day last year and didn't even get to see the car display.
We are heading down there again for a day this year.

One of the local steam engines was spotted being loaded onto a low-loader the other day, I presume this is where it was going.

Two were on our road yesterday also, possibly heading down to Onslow Park near Shrewsbury for this weekend's bash.

Onslow Park is supposed to be a nice show, I have friends who go there.

Ah, maybe there then. I've never been to Onslow Park, but then if it clashes with the Gold Cup that's probably why - much as I enjoy a steam fair (and not least because the autojumble is usually different to the usual stuff I see at car shows), I'm not dropping a weekend of racing for it.
