Not least of which is the Honiton Hill Rally, which is well endowed with steam engines going to Tarrant Hinton. GDSF like Bridgewater Carnival if it moves everyone else has to accommodate it, so I guess that Honiton Hill Rally will shift into September. There being only four weekends in August next year.
