Hi Glenn,  We attended the Dorset Steam Fair for the first time and
absolutely loved it.  We were there for two days but I can wholeheartedly
recommend staying as long as possible.  There is so much to see and hear
that the time just flies by.

We stayed at a small B&B called Middle Farm House; it wasn't too far away
-- the owners rode their bicycles to and from the fair.  Their rates were
reasonable too.  Good food, good people.  See

Since there were five of us, we rented a car, but if you find a room the
owners may be able to give you some transportation ideas.  We flew into
Heathrow and rented a car from Avis there at the airport.

I would love to attend the Fair again (and this year the MBSI convention
is being held the week before in England, so this is a great year to
visit).  Unfortunately, we cannot attend this year but will most
definitely go back.

Kind Regards,
Susan Robinson
