'Steam Gathering' cancelled

A sad piece of news from Mike Thompson today. He has asked me to let everyone know that the 'Steam Gathering' planned for the 19th June has had to be cancelled. You can find the announcement on the official '150 Celebrations' web site here.

Mike explained that the main problem was that in mid June we have so much space on site committed to preparations for the main events in August, and also that we have very limited volunteer time available for running  events because of the work load of heavy manual work. We could really do with some extra strong and fit volunteers at the moment if there are any out there - failing that I guess that even weak and unhealthy ones like me might be considered.
