There's a big steam fair down your way, isn't there....well, in Dorset. I got stick in seemingly endless traffic for it a couple of years back when I was down there. I suppose all that will be cancelled this year. 
We have summat similar about 20 miles or so from here at a place called Kelsall - they show motorbikes, too - and it's amazing to see just how much interest there still is for all things steam.
Somewhere, deep in the bowels of the Brew Cabin, is the tale of what happened when Fred Dibnah rolled up with his traction engine at my brother-in-law's weddding and drank us all under t'table!

Hi Tony - Yes, the Great Dorset Steam Fair, biggest steam fair in the UK if not Europe, personally not a fan of these huge events, much prefer the smaller ones.

Dave L - Do you ever get up to Chipping Steam Fair in Lancashire? I live a mile from the show ground.

There's a pub in the centre of Chipping that did/does the best steak baguette I have ever tasted. Buggered if I can recall the name, but I could walk you to it now, and I haven't been for about 5 years. It was run by an Irish lad...or, at least, a bloke from an Irish family, and he always liked to have the craic whenever we went in.
I'm putting that on my To Do whiteboard for as soon as all this nonsense is over. Between that pub in Chipping and the Black Pudding Fritter with Poached Egg at the Eddisford Bridge Arms near Clitheroe, a man might never go home to eat! And sod the Inn at Whitewell!

Haha yes, sod the Inn at Whitewell. The pub you mention is the Tillitsons, and the bloke would be 'Curly', no longer the landlord these days.
