Things are now progressing very well with almost everthing done regarding the field set up. We've still got two full days left for the set up before the Rally starts and there's not a lot left to be done now apart from all the exhibitors arriving and the public coming to see what's on offer.
There will always be something we remember at the last minute that we hadn't thought of or we are told to do by South Oxfordshire Council officials when they inspect us on Friday afternoon prior to our opening (and without their agreement we not allowed to open).
I will be doing a live Radio Broadcast on BBC Radio Berkshire (104.1 or 94.5 FM) at around 11:15 on Friday morning to update the Rally details.
More of the fun fare has now arrived and is being set up ready for this Friday night's Village opening at 18:00 hrs.
The Tractor Boys are busy setting up the final part of their area for their working display but we understand there could be a competition for this space available between the working tractors and the working steam. My guess is that if it comes to full time warfare then the steam will outweigh the tractors big time but then maybe the tractors are slightly more manoeuvrable and may be be able to dodge out of their way.
But at long last those lovely, old steam engines have started to arrive. Where would we be without them! Tractors watch your space!
