Our website has now been fully updated as per:
http://www.wellandsteamrally.co.uk/index.htm
There's now some camping space available - obviously due to a few cancellations/postponement.
We constantly strive to improve the event and add new attractions.
Just to prove that we've not been idle over the past few weeks, take a look at:

A 6am start, sees preparations begin on our new quarter-mile long railway line.

After the addition and rolling of ballast, the first of the track panels have been moved into place.

Some pretty impressive machinery was used intensively for the duration of the 12-hour work stint.

It's 6pm; and 'job done'
A tamping machine is due on site imminently, to fettle the track/ballast.
For the duration of the Rally, a former GWR Pannier tank loco and brake van will be in steam, shuttling back and forth along the quarter-mile Great Welland Railway.
There you have it folks - there's simply never been a better time to join us for a great weekend in the shadow of the beautiful Malvern Hills!
