Trawling through the web site and the register of steam cars in Britain I noticed an exciting number listed as the south east of the country, it would be good to have Locomobile, Stanley and other makes, even the unusual steam bread van!

We have a tarmac ring road on the site so it would not be expected to run on grass, and the site has 24hr security with cctv.

Telford Lions Club are now in the process of organising the 14th annual Lions Day on Wheels. This is a free to enter family fun day, based on anything on Wheels, to be held at the Bowring Park Wellington 13th July 2008.
The day will start with a Cavalcade, which we hope will be larger than last year’s 80 vehicles, commencing from a local car park and travelling around the town to the park.
We are keen to attract as many different vehicles as possible of all years vintage, veteran or classic, such as steam, traction, miniatures etc, together with any as much local support as possible.
Thank you for taking the time to read our request, and we do hope to see you at Lions Day on Wheels 2008.

The committee of the Fleetwood Transport Festival (known locally as "Tram Sunday") cordially invite you, your members and, if you wish your club along with all of your vehicles to attend the 2008 event which will be held on 20th July, 2008 (3rd Sunday of July each year).
Our event, now entering its 24th year, is particularly unique as it is set in the historic town centre roads rather than on a muddy field. Fleetwood is a seaside location very close to Blackpool, Lancashire, and the event not only attracts enthusiasts but a 30,000-strong, wide variety of visitors including young families - introducing them to the joys that classic vehicles can bring. We have a HUGE number of trade stands at the event which runs from 10am until 4pm. The event currently attracts around 60 buses, 180 cars, 20-30 motorbikes and a wide variety of other specialist and exciting vehicles, however we would like your help with building on this figure!!
Attendance as an exhibitor or a visitor is entirely FREE. All exhibitors are presented with a commemorative plaque.
Please contact me for entry forms or if you have any questions.

The Torbay Old Wheels Car Club has for some ten years organised an annual rally on Paignton seafront in conjunction with the Torbay Carnival Committee. Last year's event attracted a full entry of 400 vehicles and raised £2,500 for the nominated charities of Torbay Carnival.
This year's event on 27 July celebrates the 100th anniversary of Torbay Carnival. To recognise this milestone our Club would like to invite a small number of feature exhibits of Edwardian & veteran vehicles built in 1908 and before. We would be most grateful for any assistance you may be able to offer in attracting enquiries from any of your members who may be interested in supporting this very popular and enjoyable event.
