Didn't know anything about this otherwise would have made the effort to go. Something fascinating about steam, whether in a boat or on wheels. As a kid I always relished a Mammod steam engine in a boat, as it was I had to be content with an O guage steam engine.

On leaving Bound2Please on Sunday it was just finishing, but we followed a "Hovis" steam lorry out, it had an amazing turn of speed....

I remember taking a trip on the steam boat just after my parents moved to Norfolk.  It really is a lovely experience, especially as you're so low to the water.  Sitting too close to the engine can be a bit tricky though...It can get a bit 'spitty'.  Not enough to burn, but it certainly makes you jump the first time

I am lucky to be moored at Stalham and had a grandstand seat

It was surprising to see these and how big they are. still going strong circa 1932

Stanley cars brought over from America.

There was all sizes and entertainment too. A great way to spend a day watching the coming and going.

Awhile ago the MOB  hosted a visit from a bunch of steam cars from Holland America and other countries, I forget exactly how many but 20 or more I think including this rather fine charabanc.

On reflection I rather think it was the UK Stanley Steamer club

You are most likely correct, I did get the info third hand.
