’22 EVENTS GUIDE PART 2 AUG-DEC
WELCOME! Well, here we are again, the early season events have seen strong crowds throughout and I’m sure that will be the case during the second half of the season.
Back after a two-year gap, owing to the Covid situation, is the Great Dorset Steam Fair, 25th-29th August, which will certainly be well worth attending I’m sure. It will be the highlight of the season for so many people.
On the same weekend of 28th-29th the Shrewsbury Steam Rally at Onslow Park is also back on the map, another event that is ‘high class’ and well worth attending. However, there are many, many good events for you all to enjoy right through the second half of the season to December and we have them all listed here!
At Old Glory we are always delighted to receive your pre-event press releases, so we can tell our many 1,000s of readers what you have planned for your up and coming event and the major feature at the show, particularly if it’s all for charity. After the event we are also always delighted to receive a report and pictures, to: peterlove@madasafish.com – Tel: 01323 833125.
All that is left for me to say is have a great second-half of the season, stay safe and enjoy yourselves!
