Just to say what a good rally it was i will be sending a letter in about it to Nannette for the next raising steam.
Thanks to Michael and the rest of his crew for letting me help them out.
Although knowing them does help! Especially when most of us are in the same preservation society!

I have had a geat season in 2009. I've been to different rallies this year with Michael Davies one being the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railways one at Cheltenham racecourse.
As Michael owns ploughing engines it was nice to have a field to ourselves (ploughing tackle that is)and see Western Prairies and a Castle class go up and down the line, it was truely victorian britain apart from cameras and clothes.
Thank you to Michael for yet another wonderful year.
Hope its as steam filled next year.
