2010 event

The 2010 event could be the last "Masham Steam Engine and Fair Organ Rally" as the organisers have been told that the 2010 event is to be the last time that the current site can be used. So the search is on for a new site for 2011, for this historic rally which has been held for over 40 years on the "Low Burton" Field site.

Summary

• Masham Steam Rally 17th July, 2010. Saturday evening parade into market place
• A flying tractor

Cars

A small display of classic cars was also present. For some reason crammed into only half the area with little space between the two rows and one row jammed tight up to a temporary fence, making it arquid for visitors to view them and increasing the risk of them being scratched as people squeeze past each over with bags and buggies etc. to view the second row

Stationary engines

A selection of stationary engines were working with a variety of different display set ups to show how they originally provided power before electric motors took over.

Working displays & Tent displays

2009 event

Summary

The 2009 event was disrupted by heavy rain leading up to the event leaving ground conditions poor, which lead to some engines been cancelling and a lower than expected turn out in some other classes. But the weather brightened up over the weekend with a few showers, so a decent event was possible with a number of the engines being displayed in the Station yard opposite the site on hard standing.
