Stands from three full size preservation societies will be present as will our fantastic “every one a winner” Tombola and our usual and famous catering with the fantastic bacon butties and vegetarian options.
Layouts have been gathered from as far South as Gloucester and Humberside and from across the North East and Cumbria
