Weeting Steam Rally

Or should we say Weeting on Sea Steam Rally.The Friday (July 15th) of the 3 day event was warm and sunny,the Saturday & Sunday were just a little damp ! Despite this we had a great time and spoke to lots of people about the work done at the museum.We were joined at this event by our friends at the Charles Burrell Museum.
