Formed on 27th February 1956, the Bedford Steam Engine Preservation Society has grown over the years into one of the largest regional clubs in the country. In 2006 the Society celebrated its 50th Anniversary with a series of commemorative events, starting with a Birthday Party attended by over 400 members and friends. This was followed by a very successful Steam Apprentice driving weekend in April, where over 100 children learnt how to safely drive and maintain steam engines, even cooking their own breakfasts on the shovels. Midsummer brought a new event, a Village Day in Blunham joining the community for a fun family day out and incorporating a road run to the village of Tempsford. The Annual Bedfordshire Steam & Country Fayre, held over 3 days was the Society’s biggest ever event. The “Made in Bedfordshire” display gathered together a diverse variety of exhibits from Steam Engines to Classic Cars, Horse Drawn Ploughs to the World’s Oldest Tractor. Watch the draw of the Grand 50th Anniversary Raffle for the 3” Scale Marshall Traction Engine worth over £10,000!
