History[]

Fowler 80 sn 21090 at Bloxham 09 -IMG 6194

Restored Fowler 80 with Vickers winch

The 2009 event was the 41st that has been held.

The 2010 event guide called the event The Banbury Rally @ Bloxham 2010. Apparently there have been changes to some of the organising committee and some of the site layout was revised (not to every bodies satisfaction from some comments heard & read).

The Event features[]

The event is a National Traction Engine Trust Authorised Event. Exhibit classes include:

2013 Event[]

Steam line-up at Banbury 2013 - IMG 0147

2013 arena steam line-up

2012 Event[]

The 2012 rally was cancelled due to the excessively wet weather in the weeks prior to the event resulting in some parts of the site being waterloged.

2011 Event[]
