This is a collection of pictures that were taken at The Sewards of Petersfield Steam and Vintage Gathering and Road Run, which is held in Liss Hampshire. It is run by my husband Lloyd, our friend Kevin and myself. This is the 5th one we've held and was the biggest and best yet, with 8 full size traction engines and loads of other vehicles on site it was an event not to be missed.
Some of these pictures were taken by Kevin Lockyer so you will see a KL at the end of each blurb...

On the Sunday afternoon we had Liss Band playing on the field which is always great. Everyone sat around the shady tree area with their ice creams and listened to them play. A wonderful way to end a busy weekend.
We would like to say a big thank you to all those that attend whether you came as an exhibitor or the public coming to have a look as without you this wouldn't go ahead. Here's looking forward to next year. 9th and 10th July 2011. See you there.
MISS IT, MISS OUT
