It is with great sadness we have to announce that the decision to cancel the Shrewsbury Steam Rally 2021 has been made by the organising committee.
This news is of course extra sad since 2021 is our Society’s 60th anniversary and we were really hoping to put on a celebration. So, if we had gone with what our hearts wanted then we most definitely would be holding a rally but the reality of what we believe would be required to comply with the latest guidance really makes it nearly impossible to run. We must be sensible and cautious, and we certainly do not want to put anyone’s health and wellbeing at risk. We want you all to be here to enjoy our future rallies. But currently there is just too much uncertainty surrounding the events industry for us to be able to make the decision to continue for this year.
We would, however, like to take this opportunity to thank all our exhibitors and followers who had we have gone ahead this year would have no doubt supported our event. And we once again really look forward to seeing you all again in the run up to the Shrewsbury Steam Rally 2022.
In the meantime, we sincerely wish you all the very best of health, and please do stay safe.
The County of Salop Steam Engine Society
