The Biggest Steam Fair in the North of England

[Chequered Flag Racing]

and I missed it @ Pickering, North Yorkshire. Found out yesterday on billboards as I had a day out with my mother to Whitby & Scarborough.

was toying with going there or Hong Nor Cup event as I thought they were on the same weekend

any others to match, size, engines etc of the Pickering Event before the season ends for them?

You didn't want to go on last day, the organizing company vanished with the takings, and the exhibitors blockaded everybody in the site
