Hi Oliver Family. I am Adam Tanner and i'm 12 years of age. I very much enjoyed
this years show. My favourite exhibit was the heavy haulage arena at night when
all the sparks were flying in huge clouds, it was spellbinding. My second favourite
exhibit was the heavy horses and military vehicles. Thanks again for the best show
on earth!

We have been exhibiting at the steam fair every year for the past 25 years and been

I have just returned from a brilliant weekend at this year's Steam Fair. It was
my first time but after loads of recommendations from friends I went and I have
to say I thought it was very well organised and a great weekend. I have to admit
I thought the fair was fantastic and I have started nagging friends to join me next
year.

Well another great weekend at the Dorset Steam Fair!! It seems to be getting bigger
too! We will definitely be back in 2008 with even more people.

Dear Martin
I am writing to say a big thank you for your kind support to the Anthony Nolan Trust
event we organised back in July. Your donation of complimentary tickets went a long
way to the success of the event. With many thanks again.
Eddie Farwell, Children's Hospice South West
Dear Mr Oliver
Great Dorset Steam Fair 2007
Thank you so much for your genorisity in supporting Children's Hospice South West,
by allowing us to collection donations at the Great Dorset Steam Fair. With the
recent opening of our second hospice, Charlton Farm, near Bristol, and with the
launch of our new "Precious Lives" appeal for a third much needed facility,
this time in Cornwall, it is more important now, than ever, that we continue to
have the support of local people. It is only with your generosity that we can continue
to provide and grow this much needed service.
Thank you once again for your generous support and for helping us make the most
of short and precious lives.
Mr & Mrs M Hillary from Hampshire
Dear Martin & Michael

A little note to thank you both very much indeed for a really great Steam Fair.
The Great Dorset Steam Fair always has such a wonderful atmosphere.
BBC – Commissioning Editor of the Fred Dibnah TV Show –
London
Dear Martin
Just a short note to say many thanks for the Great Dorset Steam Rally Press pass
that was forwarded to me.
I went to the rally with my 4-year –old daughter and we both had a lovely afternoon.
As you may know I am the commissioning editor for the Fred Dibnah TV shows and it
was a real pleasure for me to be able to see many of the engines and traction machines
in the flesh. My daughter was equally thrilled.
Once again, many thanks.
Mr & Mrs J Collingborn - The British Tractor Challenge 2006
– Newport
Dear Martin and team
Thank you so much for allowing us to attend The Great Dorset Steam Fair. You gave
us such a great site, we did very well both financially and promotional wise. I
do wish we had a few more like you and your team to help us with our event, you
of all people will realise that when it comes to organising anything help is very
thin on the ground.
I hope all went well for your wonderful event and you didn’t have to many headaches
to deal with.
Once again thank you and we hope to see you soon.
Ms Chapman – Marie Curie – Cancer Care – Somerset
and Dorset Community Fundraising Office
Dear Mr Oliver
Just a short note to say thank you so much for allowing Mrs Page and her army of
Minibus volunteers to raise money for Marie Curie Cancer Care.
They worked extremely hard to raise this money by driving long hours ferrying people
around the huge site and this year they raised in excess of £656.00 from the
very generous visitors to your fair.
Please be assured that the money raised will stay and help the Marie Curing nursing
service in Dorset who care for cancer patients in their own home when the diagnosis
had changed from cure to care free of charge to the patient and their families.
Once again thank you for allowing this fundraising to happen it is vital that events
like this happen so we can continue to care for cancer patients in Dorset.
Mr Appleton – Ian Allan Publishing – Lincolnshire
Dear Martin
Simply brilliant! What more can I say? It is difficult to imagine a better show
anywhere on the planet.
Everyone has worked so hard and we feel very privileged to have been involved.
Please pass on our appreciation and congratulations to the whole team for putting
on such a splendid event.
Here’s to the 38th Great Dorset Steam Fair!
Mary Newman - Poole - Dorset
