Preston Rally 27th and 28th June

This was our first year at the Preston Rally and it was a great success. It was to be an early start on the Saturday morning, pitching the tent and getting ready.  The rally offered a blend of steam, classic vehicles and good old fashioned fun. Parades of commercial and military vehicles, tractors and agricultural vehicles with beagle and gun dog displays. You could try your hand at clay pigeon shooting, take a helecopter ride or look around the trade stands. The Sittingbourne and Kemsley Light Railway provided a special feature this year with a demonstration track, specially laid by volunteers.

Other displays and activities included having a go at steering a traction engine or steam roller in the arena, taking a trailer ride with heavy horses pulling you along or miniture railway rides. Saturday evening was rounded off by live music in the beer tent.

We had a lot of interest in the greyhounds and would like to thank Anne with Minnie, Mickey and Swifty, Mark and Julie with Bugsy and Wellington and all of those who came along to support us. This is a definate yes for 2010 so put it in your diary. Brilliant weekend and below are some more photos of the weekend.
