Many thanks to the marshals, it was
action packed from the bingo o n Thursday
evening to the bowls final Monday morning.
The rally began on Thursday evening with
Derrick's own brand of bingo for charity;
much amusement for all.
Friday morning it was time for the hot
crossed buns, tea and coffee and then a walk
for the very hardy in the very cold wind.
Friday evening was disco time with Chris
Stammers; another good night.
Saturday morning, the first round of the
bowls and it was over very quickly for some.
Saturday evening was time to win a fortune
at the horse racing. It didn't quite work
like that but a good time was had by all.
During the break, the teddy bears were
auctioned for charity. I could not believe
that teddy's could make so much money.
Sunday and it was time for breakfast.
Derrick and David looked like snowmen as
they cooked sausages on the barbeque but the
results were great. It soon looked like
Christmas rather than Easter as the snow
began to settle.
At 4 O Clock it was the birthday tea party
to mark the 40th brirthday of the Suffolk
Centre which began at Easter 1968. I believe
it was very cold that Easter but with no
snow !
Sunday evening was party time with tables
decorated in 1968 style and some members in
1960's style dress. Dancing was to "Mr J"
band and cabaret by the Keith Youngs Dancers
and Louise. What talent we have in the
Centre ! Another great evening.
Monday morning saw the finals of the bowls
competition. It was won by a couple from the
Mid Anglia Centre.
Many thanks again for the best rally I have
attended for a long time.
A very happy rallier.
