This is a good thread Tony, it's good that an air of normality is resuming. I hope the galas are well attended. I see it's now official that Wells is going to the Mid-Hants, hats off to them, that must be close to a five figure outlay to do that.
Cheers John

I agree that it's good to see things picking up again. The Bluebell gala is pencilled in for me - it's been a while since I last saw 'Clan Line', plus 'Cheltenham' in BR livery will be a first for me. In fact, all the locos scheduled to run at the gala will be in BR livery, which is probably a first for the Bluebell which is usually renowned for it's pre-grouping liveries!

It appears that the North Norfolk steam gala on 3-5 September is to feature the home fleet of locos only, with no visiting locos booked. Even so, the roster includes GER Y14 0-6-0 No.564, LNER B12 4-6-0 No.8572, S&DJR 7F 2-8-0 No.53809, BR 4MT 2-6-0 No.76084, BR 9F 2-10-0 No.92203, WD 2-10-0 No.90775 & Hudswell Clarke 0-6-0ST 'Wissington'.
