This annual gala is one I try not to miss. Unfortunately it often clashes with other events, such as the 7¼" Gauge Society AGM weekend, which means I cannot spend as much time at the Railway as I would like.

There were 2 visiting locos for the Gala this year, as follows:-
SR 0-6-0T no. DS238 (30070)
SR 4-4-0 no. 30926 “Repton”

Resident locos seen in action were:-
SR 4-6-2 no. 34027 “Taw Valley” running as 34045 “Ottery St. Mary”
GWR 2-6-2T no. 5164
GWR 0-6-0PT no. 5764
GWR 4-6-0 no. 7802 “Bradley Manor”
LMS 2-6-0 no. 42968
LMS 4-6-0 no. 45110
LMS 2-6-0 no. 46443
LMS 2-8-0 no. 48773
LNER 4-6-2 no. 60009 “Union of South Africa” (no longer at the Railway)

Looking back at the photos, I spent my time around Eardington & Bewdley on the 24th & most of the following day at Bewdley.

Over 6,200 passengers were carried during the event.
