Guys, today, at the museum, I was asked if we would be interested in doing our own STIA, especially for steam toys.

The guys who attended today, Stilldrillin, myself, DLR and Titan all think it's a good idea, and wondered how many of you guys would be prepared to come.

It's still in the planning stages, but the Museum big wigs are all for it, it was their idea  

I've given them the Forum address so we should hear from them soon, hopefully!!

It could be arranged one saturday at the most convenient time for people, say July or something, and would last from like 9am-5pm, so long enough for a good day out.

Lincolnshire's middle of the country, so you can't get much fairer  

It could be our own little meet, which could grow into a big event!!

Post your thoughts here

Get some dealers to come (Forest Classics, Chasteam etc) and for letting them sell stuff at the show get them to donate fuel and oil etc?

July is one of the busiest months of the year for me (including September, August and June!) so I doubt I would be able to make it
