CONGRATULATIONS!
The Society sends
warmest wishes and congratulations to our Vice Chairman Ollie
Owen on his marriage to Claire. The wedding was held in glorious
sunshine on June 12th at Somersham, near Huntingdon. The Bride
was driven to the church by Barry Peacock in his Ford Model T
Town Car, and the happy couple returned in Andrew Waling's
Brayshaw showman's wagon towed by the Burrell
"Princess of Wales" owned by Dave and Mandy Ragsdale, while the
bridesmaids were conveyed in Keith Honour's wagon behind his Burrell
"Margaret".
Back at the farm, guests to the reception were entertained by
Rob Wichall's Marenghi organ and Mike Rule's Savage Gallopers.
Claire and Ollie then honeymooned in Scotland.

Welcome
to the East Anglian Traction Engine Society. Our society was founded in
1955, to advance the education of the public and to promote the
preservation and running of all types of steam traction engine:
portables, showman’s and ploughing engines, road locos, steam rollers
and steam wagons. It was the second society of its kind to be formed in
the UK. The East Anglian Traction Engine Club is the trading arm of the
society.
Within the following pages you will find:
* How to join the society
* Dates and information on forthcoming events in which our members are
involved
* Events that have taken place
* Details and photographs of member’s engines
* The latest news concerning activities of interest to steam enthusiasts
* The sales page for books, videos and other items that may be purchased
from the club
It is the intention of the web team to regularly up date the information

the website needs
YOU and
we will be looking for good photos and interesting reports to add to the
