A quick update on 2023 entries, the following sections are now closed for entries.
Military Vehicles / Vintage Vehicles / Model Steam / Stationary Engines / Tractors : closed for 2023 entries. Weeting was back on the map again for another weekend of steam apprentice driving! We had 27 apprentices each day for our 2023 Steam Apprentice Club Driving Weekend and everyone was raring to go!
Please be advised if you were looking to exhibit a stationary engine, this section is now fully booked for 2023!
Thank you to all those who have returned an entry form, and a big thank you to Andrew for looking after this section. UPDATE : The Tractor section is now closed to entries for 2023.
If you return you entry form now, you will be placed on a reserve list for any cancellations that may arise. Sorry if this disappoints those of you who have not already entered, we only have so much space and this year we have booked up quicker than expected!! Thank you to those of you who have sent back entry forms, and a massive thank you to our tractor section ladies Ros and Judy for taking on the task this year and doing such a great job. We are very pleased to be offering the ability to buy your tickets online again this year.
Early Bird Tickets are now on sale, get yours now and save £1 on the ticket price. We have partnered with the secure online ticketing services of Ticketebo for the provision of our tickets this year. Ticketebo’s Trees For Change Program is simple: go green and choose to have your tickets sent by SMS (so no need to print your tickets anymore!) - and as a thank you, we will plant a tree for you. It’s one small, easy way to give back to the planet, and tackle Climate Change together. We're pleased to announce the auction held by Barry L Hawkins will be taking place again this year, on Saturday 15th July.

We (the Rally Chairman and Trustees) are writing this letter to announce and inform all of the Weeting Steam Engine Rally volunteers, exhibitors, the general public and whoever it may concern that Wendy Young has resigned from the role of Rally Co-ordinator for personal reasons. Wendy has carried out the role since 2009 and we are saddened to see her move on to pastures new. We wish to pass on our gratitude and appreciation for all that Wendy has contributed to the Rally over the years and wish her every success and happiness in the future. We have asked Kate Plant to take on the role and are pleased to say Kate has accepted the challenge, with full support from Wendy and ourselves. We hope this to be a smooth handover, Kate has been working with the Rally for over 15 years and has a good understanding of the event and we wish her success in this role. Yours Sincerely Richard Parrott, Rally Chairman and the Rally Trustees. Kate can be contacted on the new rally number 07907 720312 or [email protected] Please note : 2023 Entry forms are currently being processed and will soon be with section heads and then posted out to exhibits.

All exhibitor sections for this year are now closed, we are just about full!
