Just a wee update:
One of the biggest traditional fairs in the region is hosted in my village, takes place on Sunday the 11th of August (with a concert on Saturday). If Foccers are interested, there are 6 beds that should be available on Sunday night, possibly on Saturday as well (Confirmation needed from GHQ, i.e. Mum
) and ample room for tents in our garden. Alternatively, there are plenty of hotels / B&B type affairs nearby as well.
I volunteer every year at the fair, it's good fun! They bring in a huge amount of old machinenery, notable steam tractors, old single cylinder diesel tractors and threshers, and cut the wheat with them. There's also a bunch of stands displaying the old fashionned ways of doing things, and with all the organisers in period dress. I'm hoping to have my own stand there this year, as a local friend and I hope to set up an old-style garage with assorted old / classic cars and a couple of old bikes too!
