Has spring
really sprung ??
|
|
Last year we set the Butley rally as our
pointer for the start of spring. This year,
the winter seems to have dragged on and on,
so it was a real delight to be able to walk
about the rally field with a light jacket in
the sunshine. |
|
This weekend is the first rally of the
season for many of our friends and this
always presents additional challenges. The
winterised caravans are uncovered, refilled
with fluids and are brought out for the
first time in quite a while. |
Dart players were all gathered on Friday
evening in the hall and a number of us just
couldn't get the hang of it and like me,
made our excuses and returned to our
refreshments for natter and chatter. The
knockout competition continues and the
finals were played on Saturday morning. The
winners of ladies competition was Beryl
Garrod and the men's competition was John
Preston. |
The picture competition was very popular
again this year and we had to guess the
names of the groups from the pictures drawn
by ralliers and displayed in their caravan
windows. I still don't know what some of
them were but the artwork was quite
brilliant.
|
|
There were plenty of
opportunities to chat and catch up over a
cuppa, as the marshals seemed to have the
tea urn switched on with a constant flow of
refreshments. The Saturday evening social
was up to the usual brilliant standard and
everyone was dancing the night away. In the
morning, a few slight hangovers were soon
forgotten when the sun shone again and we
all planned our next weekend out together.

|
Well done to our rally marshals, Tony & Sharon,
Gary & Amanda, Vince & Debbie. |

|
Trev, Sue & friends. |

I felt I should email this picture of
the lovely group of children we had on
the Butley rally.
They were all so well behaved and had so
much fun that I could not resist sending
this to you. If possible could you post
this in your next newsletter saying a
big thank you to them all from
everybody.
Thank
you so much Sophie Turkentine and all
the other parents.
