In addition, a Raynet liaison was maintained with the Paramedic, and the operator travelled with him to the scene of any incident. Although the rally promoters brought their own communications system to control the operation, together with their own professional crash rescue crews, and vehicles, Raynet was required not only by the locally based St John's Ambulance medical units but also specifically by the Forestry Commission to maintain an overall cover of general safety in order to comply with government agencies' liabilities in respect of Public Insurance.

 Accidents requiring serious treatment were, fortunately, rare in view of the hazardous nature of this particular brand of  'Sport'.

Members of the anglian raynet groups were, as always, available to render whatever facilities may have been necessary.©

Steam engines dominated both industrial and agricultural applications for many years, until the development of the internal combustion engine revolutionised power tools in the early twentieth century. In recent years the popularity of steam rallies has increased enormously. Accompanied by colourful fairground amusements and thronged with exotic sideshows of all kinds, steam rallies have proved a very attractive weekend spectacle for family excursions.
Two major rallies are annual features in the region.
In July the two day Weeting event takes place - pics below are from the 2003 show - and in June is the attraction of the Woolpit steam weekend.©
