Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without warm mince pies, mulled wine, novelty knitware and the festive feast which is Steam Traction World's video/presentation.
Shrouded in secrecy, this year has seen not hints, links or anything that could give the game away to the theme for 2014.
Who could forget the Bear and the Hare parody from last year, and the up tempo version of 'Walking in the Air' the year before, and well known Christmas songs played on er.. of all things - elastic bands the year before that? One thing is for certain, each year has got better and better.
From last years offering it was decided an earlier launch date for this Christmas, with an expected premiere aired on 8th November. Insiders say it could be launched to coincide with the X-Factor TV show on the Saturday during a segway between Dermot O'Leary and Simon Cowell. The X Factor itself is Hallowe'en week however we are sure there will be nothing spooky about the coincidence of Steam Traction World's launch during the popular TV show.
Dean Rogers, Director at Steam Traction World had this to say, "We learnt a lot last year with Bear and the Hare, and we knew we should try to launch this year earlier. The presentation will be on Steam Traction World's Youtube channel and we have included a few surprises that, we hope, everyone will enjoy. The theme? Well, we are keeping it under wraps until the launch but what I can say it will be instantly recognisable within the first few seconds."

New Greyhound Track at Towcester
A new £1.5m greyhound track at Towcester Racecourse should be open by the end of the year after the Northamptonshire venue announced that construction will commence next month on the first new circuit to be built in the UK for 20 years.
The whole development, which has cost Towcester £12m to date, is expected to be completed by October with greyhound meetings being staged by the end of December. The 420 metre track will stage three meetings a week, offering a blend of six and eight-dog meetings on a 'state of the art' track encompassing the very best standards of specification to ensure the welfare of all greyhounds who compete.
B.Line Plant have imported 4,000 lorry loads of muck to create the track in a 12 week window. They have completed the earth works, drainage, ducting, a new road and the reinforced concrete works.

Ice Skating in Northamptonshire
Ice Skating Northamptonshire
Do you fancy a bit of Ice Skating? Whilton Locks Garden Village ice rink is bigger and better than ever before and features real ice! It's great fun for all and you do not have to be the next Torvill and Dean to take part - it's great for the very young (using their 'push-along characters), and inexperienced skaters of all ages. That said if you are a fan of 'Dancing on Ice' and have mastered a triple axel; they would love to see it!
You'd Better Get Your Skates On
Ice Skating is available every day (except Christmas and Boxing Day) and there are a couple of late night skates available - so there is really no excuse not to miss out. Ice Skating in Northamptonshire is very popular and it is highly recommended that you book your timeslot online beforehand. You can book online via their main website HERE.

Senna 20 Years On
This weekend is 20 years on from the death of Ayrton Senna at Imola. The Senna JPS Lotus 98T was collected from a customer yesterday and delivered to the RAC Club, Pall Mall, London at 5am this morning by Circuit2Circuit for one of many special events happening this weekend. There is no F1 GP this weekend - the next is Barcelona on 11th May and I am sure the significance of the date will be marked there too.
