The Rushden Cavalcade of Transport and Country Show, to be held at a site beside the A6 Bedford Road south of Rushden, Northamptonshire, NN10

At the time of posting, the Cavalcade's website still shows last year's beer list, but if the 2009 one is similar, it should be pretty good...

No connection - I just like a good drop of proper beer, and old mechanical things too.
