There are refreshments at the village hall, one enterprising family organised a barbecue, the pub offered a hog roast. At least one option was welcome after a damp ride in.

The main business of the day was nothing more serious than to wander round and see who else had turned up and what they were riding. There is no competitive element to Offham, it’s purely for fun. Outside the pub, ‘Endeavour’ a 1920 Fowler Road Locomotive steamed gently, a solitary reminder of the roots of this event.
