 | The event took place as planned following 2 days of torrential rain and with more showers forecast for the day. It did put some visitors and exhibitors off but the rest of us had a great time. We are very lucky to have a firm, well-drained field. |

 This was fun, particularly when wet. |
 Water also made the "greasy pole" more interesting. |
 This was a little more tame. |
 Letting the train take the strain was even more relaxed. |
 Despite the rain showers we had plenty of cover .../i> |
 ...with gazebos of varying sizes.. |
Our plants stall was as popular as ever |
 and we had music all afternoon |
