Monks Eleigh 2004 Rally Report

Monks Eleigh Bygone Collectors Club Rally 2004

Gt Waldingfield Suffolk

This was a new Rally for us and despite being small compared with some we attend, we were pleasantly surprised at the enthusiastic and pleasant welcome we received from Chairman Paul Goodchild. The Rally is now in its fourth year and growing steadily with something for everyone, a friendly atmosphere and a superb Saturday nights entertainment in the beer tent.

I was pleased to see a good turn out of young Stationary engine enthusiasts who worked on and ran their engines constantly all weekend, I recommend this Rally for a great weekend

Some of the enthusiastic youngsters attending a Bentall mill driven by a Lister A Owned by Tim Edwards This is Richard Hill's Lister D and Argosy Pump and Drill And Dan's Edward's Lister D driving a Lister Domestic pump The Lads again with the Bentall Mill

Owned by Ron Mansfield from Sudbury A very nice Alvis....and it was for sale but no price mentioned though

A view of the motorcycles And these superb Steam driven Gallopers which has taken 7 yrs to restore and is not finished yet This was one of the lorries towing the fair equipment, a lovely old Scammell And a nice Fowler Showmans engine

This was a little miniature steam engine giving the kids a ride A view of some of the tractors A lovely Vauxhall Victor, this, especially for Lee And a view down the classics, note the number of Rolls.
