    I visited with my Dad on the Monday and we would just like to say how much we enjoyed the event. Thanks to all involved for providing a great day. It's a shame the weather wasn't too good though. I hope that similar events are planned for the future.
    I might just get around to sorting out my pictures (100+) tonight and will post a few up on here.

    Yeah, the drawbacks of a Churchward cab started to become apparent on Monday. Just as well we finished making the storm sheet that morning!
