The Leyland Gathering was held at Gaydon on the 17th July this year.  The weather was awful and the turnout rather less that at Leyland in 2010.

if anyone does go and can get a data sheet of the Leyland interim (ie the Leyland beaver i build) it would be appreciated.
but only if if it cheep enough  :wink:
the last time i was at the museum they had such a sheet with the dimensions of the octopus, steer, beaver and hippo. trouble is the wanted £25 for it  :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:

I agree with it being the softer game,  I am a supporter of the Airlie Birds
