The 2009 Event is the First at this venue. The organisation was in the experienced hands of local steam rally & events veterans, Alan Atkinson (as seen hauling Fred Dibnah's engine for TV appearances), Peter Wareing, John Johnson (steam engineering) & William Hunter (a supporter of HCVS events). The event is help on the Park of Harrison Leisure Ltd, Riverside Holiday park. And featured a traditional Steam fair with a wide range of other entertainment to keep all interests entertained.

A large number of commercial vehicles were present mainly in 2 rows with a decent width central walkway. A few were a bit tightly parked together but ingeneral were spaced out better than a lot of events.

The heavy haulage units were in a separate area.
