What Wiggly Worms?
Just want to say thanks for a lovely
weekend, perfect weather and a fantastic new
site. The view was beautiful. We all had fun
finding the elusive worms, definitely do it
again had such a laugh. Well done to all the
marshals. Andy Sarah and
James Pedder
It was over a year ago when we were offered
the use of Hill Farm by the landowners Rob &
Rosie Mann. We had a good feeling about the
venue and although the land is not
absolutely flat, as a consequence the views
are stunning for the generally flat county of Suffolk.
Following a couple of visits, Rob and his
"merry men" worked hard to cut the grass and
install new water and waste emptying points
in time for our arrival. As the vans rolled
in, we realised that a few levelling blocks
were essential but this was a small price to
pay for the seclusion and beauty of the site
and surrounding area.
We soon filled the field and pegged out the
worm charming area for Saturday afternoon.
Sue and Beryl provided refreshments on
Friday evening and at flagpole on Sunday.
The weather was being very kind to us again
and although a few clouds appeared and the
wind got up while we were worm charming, the
rest of the day was fit for sun worshippers.
So to the main event. WORM CHARMING.
Although there was a fair bit of cheating
gong on.... we said "no digging" the spirit
of the game remained in tact and I was
amazed at the number of crazy participants
we had trying their luck. It really is the
simple ideas that provide the most fun and
this was no exception. Congratulations to
everyone
that found worms and to Colin for winning
with 7 worms, the trophy is yours this year.
The Punchards and the Syretts were given
"Most Enthusiastic" and "Needing More
Practice" achievement certificates and a
copy of "Dirty Bertie and worms".
We have passed our thanks to Rob and Rosie
and already booked next year when we will
extend the rally to 4 nights and include a
bug hunt. So watch out at the AGM for the
"Bugs & Worms Rally" in August 2012.
Many thanks to first time Rally Marshals
Beryl & Brian and my lovely wife Sue for
supporting my obsession for caravan rallies.
Most of all thanks to the 26 other families
that made the weekend so rewarding.
Enjoy the photo's and video.
