Fair was beyond wildest dreams


by Paul Hunt .


STEAM fans from across the north flocked to the Kib­ ble Valley for the 10th Chip­ ping Steam Fair. Held a t th e Green Lane


Showground over th e Bank Holiday;weekend, it attracted the highest ever number of visi­ tors. S e c re ta ry M a ry Ha r r ison


said: “T h is y e a r ’s fa ir was beyond our wild es t dreams, with record numbers of entries in all categories. The fine weath­ er on all three days was tremen­ dous and helped to swell the vis-; itor numbers. “We have had so many com­


pliments from both visitors and exhibitors - it is a real tribute to the stewards and 100-plus vol­ unteers who give up their time to help. They have worked as a ' te am and done a wonderful job.”- . The fair was officially opened


on Saturday by The Mayor’and Mayores s o f .K ib b le Valley, Coun. John Hill and his wife, Philippa, together with Chip­ ping Steam Fair president Mr John Weld-Blundell. ■ :.

classes in the main ring, includ­ ing n e a r ly 25 full-s iz e and miniature steam engines and more th an 100 cars including classics from all ages, plus repre­ sentatives from th e Saab and Marina O wners Clubs. The mil­ i ta ry se c tio n was led by th e Chieftain'Tank, but also boast­ ed eight other tracked vehicles in an entry of about 40 on the theme of “The British Army on the Rhine". The Commercial Vehicle section was also well rep re sen ted ; with over 60 entries.


... ' ■ . ' ■ As always a t Chipping there


was a massive tu rn o u t in the tractor section, while the motor­ cycle section had 60-plus classic bikes from the 1930s onwards, plus a co n tin g en t of a dozen H onda Goldwings from th e Lancs and Lakes Club. ' ; ; ' : : ■ The earth was definitely mov­


ing in the compound dedicated to Classic P la n t with a great selection of “dumpers and doz­ ers” . Oth e rw o rk in g exhibits


. evoked memories of bygone times, including a stonecrusher, sawbenches,' balers and binders amongst others. On the more sedate side there was an excel­ len t pedal cycle se c tio n and nearly 50 barn engines chugging : away in all their splendour. ‘ , '.


The c r a f t te n t housed 40


entrants and included demon­ strations by Leagram Organic D a iry cheese m ak e r Bob Kitchin, cooper Roy Dutson, b a sk e t maker Owen Jones, Pilling potter Jim Cross and rug m ak in g by th e L u n e Valley Ruggers.
