You see, I don't really subscribe to any preservation groups. As my interest in buses is more casual than most, a little more promotion aside from the bare minimum may attract even more attendees to events such as this. That being said, I did like how the communities of both Kirkby Stephen and Brough (and to a lesser extent, Winton) got involved with various stalls offering things other than bus-related ephemera. It seemed like a real local effort and, perhaps, something that rally organisers from other regions could draw upon for inspiration.
