Description
A nostalgic weenden for all with over 500 exhibits from a bygone age.  The attraction includes steam, horse and tractor working demonstrations including ploughing, threshing and woodsawing.  Old tyme fair with steam driver gallopers and fire & rescue, sub aquz and marine model displays. 

In 2006 there was a wide range of steam engines of all types to see.   New this year was a Foden Colonial wagon adn a Wallis Simplicity roller.  These joined old favourites Aveling 'Aquarius', Foster, 'Lord of the ISles' and Ruston 'Success', all of which attended the first Rally in 1971.

Whilst the focus is on the steam engines there are a lot of other entertainment, rides and stalls.  These include a horse show and Jive Pony display, Vintage Vehicles display, Stationary Engines and Bygones display and craft and trade stalls.   In 2006 you could have sat back and watched Graham Atkinson on his Gavioli Symphonique Organ and Stage Show, complete with dancers.  

There were also displays on the large lake from the the Fenland Marine Model Club and Cambridge City Sub Aqua Club and the dragline excavator was also at work on the small pond.
