Bredfield Rally 2005

 

Disney Theme Rally,
Bredfield

June 2006
 

 

Disney Theme Rally

Once again, Bredfield was the venue for an excuse to dress up and make fools of ourselves. It hardly seems like 12 months since we dressed in our war-time attire and this year the theme was "Disney".


The rally field was in remarkably good condition considering that May had been so wet. The weather had turned now though and this weekend was to be very warm and sunny.

At 8pm on Friday, we all went to the hall and enjoyed teas, coffees and biscuits. We talked about where the Bredfield Church Fete was being held and what we were going to wear to the social on Saturday. It seemed there was plenty to keep us entertained again this weekend.

At 2.15pm on Saturday, the Bredfield Village Fete was officially open and all the locals walked round numerous stalls with items for sale, games, ice creams and the grand auction. The sun was so warm that we had to look for occasional shade from the wonderful trees and shrubs in the gardens. I spent ages rummaging through books and DVDs.

 I was determined to find a bargain, whilst little Liam (the son of my Niece) was obviously an old hand and he is only 10 years old.  He was negotiating at every opportunity and had quite a collection of factual books under his arm.

We remembered the "bargains" that Joe was able to uncover last year. If you saw my rally report you will recall that Joe uncovered a rare and very desirable antique and he was full of enthusiasm again this year. In reality, the only person that thought it was rare and valuable was Joe, but we had a lot of fun talking about his discovery. Unfortunately he lost his touch this year, and returned to his caravan with just a few decorative drinking glasses.


It was time to start transforming ourselves and getting ready for the meal being prepared for us by our marshals. Once again, Terry, Joy, Dave and Norma were very busy in the kitchen. I noticed a little extra help was provided Tracy, Leslie and a few others to ensure all the meals were ready in good time. Our chefs for the evening were slaving away in the shade of the building whist we all "mmmm"ed and "aaarrrr"ed as the smells of barbecued food came into the hall.

It took the lads a while to get all the burgers, sausages and steaks cooked and served but it was well worth the wait. This was all topped with some scrumptious deserts. What a treat !

Whilst all this cooking and hard work was going on, a large number of ralliers had dressed up as Disney characters. They ranged from Alice in Wonderland to Snow White and the Seven (I think there was at least seven) Dwarfs.

Flagpole was held at 8pm, led by our Rally Chairman Dave Totman, suitably dressed for the occasion. I was too embarrassed to ask him for a photograph but if anyone has one, I will pay good money for it !!  hehe..  A parade was called and the Dwarfs were all singing "HI HOOOO !!"  very loudly and a few were being quite naughty as they walked round the hall. Everyone was giggling so much that John & Ursula were finding it very difficult to judge a winner. The junior winner was one of the seven dwarfs and the adult section was won by The Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland. The rest of the evening was a mix of dancing, chatting and relaxing. Well done everyone, it was a terrific evening.

Sorry we didn't get pictures of everyone during the evening, but if you have photo's of the Disney characters we would like to see and share them.

Our thanks go to the marshals and their helpers for a terrific weekend. Not forgetting the residents of Bredfield for a super village fete and we hope you raised lots of money for the Church building work.
