Richard Farrant Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Myself and friends have been taking our vehicles there since it started, so we will be there. No need to worry about a pitch, plenty of room. Good entertainment and excellent food. Pub brews its own beer too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Farrant Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 A great weekend at the Farriers Arms 40's event, a good number of MV's turned up. On Saturday we were fortunate to have Rob Davies perform a spirited air display in the P-51 Mustang "Janie". One of those relaxing events with good entertainment both during the day and on Saturday evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero-Five-Two Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Made it there for Sunday, bit tight getting into entrance with the Militant. Had to do a little turn in the field next door to get lined up. But well worth the effort, good turn out for a little "village" show. Definitely one for next year, both days. Will have to go back at some point and check out lunch in the pub, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Rob, Sorry I missed you, kept intending to go up for a chat, then got waylaid again, finally went to look and you had gone. Good show and gets better every year. The Saturday night entertainment was excellent. cheers Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Organising type geezer I spoke to said they were well pleased with how it has grown so far, and they were hoping for more next year. Are we looking at a future "Great Kentish Steam Fair"? in a few years time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we looking at a future "Great Kentish Steam Fair"? in a few years time Hi Rob, "Great Kentish Steam Fair" - I doubt it will become that big, but still room for more MV's to participate, seeing as it is a Forties and Fifties theme. The Saturday evening entertainment was very good, as I mentioned before and Richard Bishop, the organiser, told me they served up 450 dinners in the marquee that night. Talking about steam, we did have a traction engine present on Saturday. When the date is set for next year (normally first w/end of August), I will post it up so you can put it in your diaries. regards, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
