Looks like a good day Ray. We went to that one a couple of years ago and had a fun day.
We also went to Ironfest in Lithgow a few weeks ago and were amazed at the trouble and detail the re-enacters went to.Those were the droids I was looking for.

I've tried using a pole lathe a couple of times. The strange thing is, it's not the leg doing the pumping that aches, it's the static one you're stood on!

These are fun events.
