Harewood Steam Show 28th to 30th August 2010

[John Potts]

Some time ago, our Shows and Events Team took the decision to move away from actively recruiting and fundraising at 4x4 Shows and to work harder at more 'general' shows.

The biggest we currently exhibit at is the Harewood Steam Show and here's some pics of what we've been up to.

Arriving with the motor nicely polished and shiny

Jessica immediately got down to some serious babysitting

Our little friend decided to have a go at towing Midnight - so Rob thought he'd better keep an eye

Yeap we also find that 4x4 shows are not cost effective. The best shows seem to be the 'blue light' / emergency service shows at fire stations police stations etc. it demonstrates to the public that we are part of the emergency services.

With the recovery pics was it you pulling the steam vehicle or was he used as a ground anchor? If you were pulling him then that's funny stuff lol.

For the actual display, we pulled the engine.

The little feller had some help from the traction engine ;)
