Hi Curt:

We always used to believe as kids it was because of the sporting links that 
Boxing Day was so called, now we know differently!  I don't know how true that 
explanation is, you'd have to go way back to get to the bottom of the name 
methinks.

Regarding the steam rally, we haven't been out of the factory this past week or 
two apart from Xmas day itself. We have a large couple of jobs to get out, one 
for delivery to Scotland this week, so we have nearly all been at work.
