One result of a chance meeting at the 2026 Great Rempstone Steam Show was a suggestion that a useful addition to this site would be a rally by rally index of engines attending. This would allow enthusiasts to assess whether a future event might be worth attending. This is a first attempt to cover those rallies which are not reported on by the traditional reports on this site. To be honest, I don't have the time or energy to increase the current scope even if someone was to offer me pictures of the rallies listed below.

The dates in the next paragraphs are the dates when reports were uploaded, take care!
