It was good to return to Bewdley for the first Autumn Steam Gala since 2019. Each of the 3 days (Friday to Sunday) had their busy spells albeit for short periods compared with normal.
Fire risk problems were reported as low. No. 4930 Hagley Hall was top of the bill having completed a major overhaul and looked resplendent in GWR green. Sales revenues were respectable with branded items such as the clothing providing attractive buys. The new Tea Towels were a winner and provided a decorative back drop to the stand.
