Well we did it! As the sun sets on the final day of the Rally, we have many people to thank.

Thank you to our sponsors – we simply could not have planned or delivered this event without your support.

Thank you to our dedicated volunteers – your commitment of time, effort and goodwill has been invaluable and helped make the Rally the success it is.

But mostly, thank you to all of our incredible exhibitors – you have been the heart of our event and there is no show without you. Thank you for the care and preparation of your displays, big and small. Thank you for sharing your passion with the public – every conversation, every explanation, every display, every grand parade. Thank you for the cost of travelling, exhibiting, camping and everything else in between. Your dedication and passion are the foundation of this Rally, and we extend our deepest thanks

What a cracker of an event! Looking forward to seeing you at the 20th National Historical Machinery Association Rally in 2027 - wherever it may be!
