Well what an awful start
to a weekend, it rained and rained and
rained some more. We were drowned whilst
pegging out the rally field.
Trev, Sue, Joe and Sheila would like to
thank everyone who helped with the setting
up.
On Saturday morning, Sue and Joe had help
leading the walkers and a large group set
off. The walk was a little quick for some
but everyone managed to enjoy the local
surroundings as the weather had provided
blue skies and a true contrast to Friday

Of course, whilst those energetic
types were out walking, it was an
ideal time for a little nap....
bbbbbzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

After tea and cakes, there was more time to
relax before the evening flagpole followed
by "BUTLEY BINGO". Trev, Colin
and Joe made some of the crowd laugh so much
they nearly missed the numbers. Especially
when the boys put the numbers back in the
shaker.... but we haven't finished the
game yet !!! Dohhh !!
Just look at the concentration on their
faces.... and ralliers raised
£84
for the Chairman's nominated charities.

How on earth can we follow that ?....
lets hope the next rally is just as much
fun.
See you at Belton in September for
more spontaneous fun and laughter.

Fire Safety
Please ensure you have read the Fire Safety
Procedure on page 635 of your Sites Directory & Handbook.
Rally Marshals may not have fire extinguishers available on the
rally field in future.
From October 2009 it will be a Suffolk Centre
recommendation that all caravans attending a rally should have a "fire bucket" filled with water adjacent to their "A" frame.
It is recommend that you have a fire extinguisher and fire
blanket in your caravan in case of emergency and regularly check
the batteries in your smoke alarm.
