Bedford this weekend
Hello all
Looking forward to catching up, all packed & ready for early start, should be a great show, in addition to the club members fantastic display of Old Mowers there is a bonus this year with a mega gathering of Steam Engines, many have been on the news this week including several travelling over 100 miles by road under steam. Its the Societies 70th anniversary.
Its great that seven committee members will be present plus several other members showing their mowers.
Come & join us. . https://bseps.org.uk/bedford-steam-country-fayre/
